People with many filled cavities - how long have you kept your teeth?

[newhere00]

I’m curious if there’s anyone who had fillings done 25-30+ years ago and managed to keep those teeth? Mostly curious about composite fillings

I am 45. Most of my fillings are from when I was ages 15-20; essentially all of my teeth have fillings, other than the incisors in front. All the molars and premolars and some canines are filled. Only two have required further care, and so I have two root canaled and crowned teeth. None of them have been anywhere needing extractions, that’s never even been discussed.

Oh, and some are silver and some are white. I never remember what “composite” means.

I'm a senior now. I've had silver fillings that have been replaced with white ones for many years, maybe 50 years in all. I've also had root canals, crowns, different bridges and some loose, mobile teeth for a long time, maybe at least 30 years depending on which tooth is was. All my treated teeth are now catching up with me. I'm choosing to have full upper and lower arch implant supported bridge. I'm hope this will be a more permanent solution for the remainder and my life. I hope I will only need routine treatment.
Wishing for you to have a long life with healthy teeth that don't need to be treated
