Teeth problem :o( :o( please help?

I am a 15 year old girl


I brush my teeth 2 times every single day, and I floss as well.





I have had 5 cavities, so I have 5 fillings in my teeth.


They are all silver fillings, and they are really visible when I am smiling and laughing. people always comment my teeth and say things like: "oh, you have a lot of cavities" and so on.


I HATE my fillings :( :( :(





Today, I was eating some ice cream, and one of my teeth started to hurt a lot. I looked at it in the mirror, and noticed that there was a black hole in the tooth. I looked at my other teeth also, just to check them, and I noticed that 6 of my teeth looked like the one, which hurts. Do you think they need to get them filled? I really dont want more silver fillings :( :( :( :(





At the same time, my teeth are really crocket!! I HATE my teeth: they are crocet, and they got a lot of silver fillings, and they hurt! Please help me. What can I do?

I am sorry to say that if your teeth have black holes in them, then yes they will require a filling. If you don't get the treatment the teeth will just get worse and then you will end up needing root canals and crowns. But, you can request a composite filling, which is tooth colored. It blends in so well no one will be able to tell you even have it, and you could also have your old silver fillings replaced with the composite ones. If your current dentist doesn't offer composites then ask your parents about finding one that does, and tell them your complaints. As far as your teeth being crooked (I guess that is what you meant by "crocket"? then you will require orthodontics (braces) to fix them. It may not sound like fun but will be worth it to make you happy with your teeth. After all, you plan on keeping them a long time! Good luck. Mail me if you have any more questions, I am a dental assistant and can probably answer them.
Reply:ask your dentist for a more natural looking filling (white) and ask about getting braces or invisaline for the crooked problem.





Good job brushing and flossing! keep that up and talk to you dentist about any other problems you may have with your teeth!
Reply:I would go to your dentist as soon as you can get an appointment I would also start brushing your teeth whenever you can after you eat.
Reply:Do you drink soda and sugary things? I've heard that even if you brush and floss regularly, they can rot teeth.





But I'd see your dentist, because it could be something more serious than anyone on here will know about.





Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.
Reply:If you have that many cavities even with flossing %26amp; brushing, you are eating too much JUNK. Sugary sweet food causes cavities, so eat it rarely.





Talk to the dentist about white colored fillings, and also braces.
Reply:have your dentist check to tooth that is bothering you. your fillings are called amalgam. you can have them replaced with composite fillings (white), however most insurances will not pay to have them replaced unless there is decay or some other problem with the tooth. so it will all be out of pocket expense for the patient. it would probably cost somewhere between $100-$250 per tooth. in addition to brushing and flossing, use act mouth rinse.
Reply:If you have discovered what appears to be holes in your teeth, then yes, you need to be seen by a dentist right away; especially if you are experiencing discomfort with them.


Teeth do not heal up on their own and will only get worse with time.





Ask the dentist to use composite to fill your teeth--It is the tooth colored filling material.





After you have your teeth restored to health ask the dentist to refer you to an Orthodontist who can evaluate the need for braces to straighten your teeth.
Reply:ANGELINA,





IF YOUR OLD SILVER FILLINGS (amalgams) HAVE EVEN A HINT OF NEW DECAY THEY OUGHT TO BE REPLACED WITH COMPOSITE (tooth-colored) FILLINGS.





AS FAR THE LARGE BLACK HOLE THAT HURTS A LOT, THIS IS A CAVITY WHICH MUST BE FILLED.


ULTIMATELY ALL THE SILVER CAN BE REPLACED WITH WHITE, BE PATIENT. ;-))
Reply:Hey,





The tooth that hurts and has a black hole in it definitely sounds like it has a cavity and needs a filling in it, sorry. The other ones that look the same - well if they have actual HOLES in them then yes, they definitely will also need fillings, but if they just have black lines in the grooves of the teeth then it MIGHT just be staining, in which case they won't need fillings, they just need to be professionally cleaned by your dentist.





Anyway, if you're having pain in one of your teeth you need to get a dentist appointment as soon as possible - it won't go away, it will only get worse, and then the filling will be bigger and look worse.





What other people have said about white fillings is true, you can get white fillings in your teeth that no-one will be able to notice, but they cost a lot more than silver fillings, so it depends whether your parents are prepared to pay for them. Maybe you should ask your dentist about getting sealants put on your remaining healthy teeth to stop them developing cavities.





Good luck, but you really have to go to the dentist, sorry!
Reply:i think yes you do get filling you can listen some music or ipod or talk to your dentist something.
