Just after a little advice from our wonderful resident dentists here, or personal experience from other members too.
I have a fair few amalgam fillings - I havent really had alot or dental work in the last 10 years, in fact I think I have only had 2 small repairs the latest being October this year.
The other fillings I have are old. I am wondering whether to enquire about having some replaced with white fillings to improve the look of my mouth - is this something that is a good idea or best left alone and of they ever needed replacing, have it done with white? I wouldnt want to create a nightmare for myself (or my lovely dentist) but I'm quite self conscious and wondered if this might help my mouth generally look better. Cost wise I know white are more expensive but as a family we arent generally wasteful with money so it wouldn't be an issue.
Its just something I am running through my mind and sort of kicking myself thinking why didn't I go for white when they were done originally - I Guess thinking rationally its because I wasn't working at the time (I'd have been at school still) and the treatment would have been free on the NHS.
Thank you everyone and I hope you've had a lovely Xmas x
