Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / June 2005Cracked Teeth Question
I just had three mercury fillings removed a month ago and replaced with white fillings. Two of those fillings have now developed cracks. One is right down the middle. I am a 36 year old male and have had one other crack in the past. Do you think my dentist should be responsible for this problem? Or is it just unlucky. Thanks. > I just had three mercury fillings removed a month ago and replaced with > white fillings. Two of those fillings have now developed cracks. One [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks. Fillings shouldn't crack in a month. Unless you're doing something very, very unusual, I think the dentist should make it right.

Or mebbe the amalgams had held up just fine for many years.

No timing belt (no timing chain either), [heck, no valves]. Water pump sits on the back end of the generator so it is not even attached directly to the engine. They even came with over-head fan shafts. Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen [What's a Temporary?], D.D.S. Michigan, USA ....................................................

They even came with over-head fan shafts. My four-wheeler can outrun your Saab. 2-stroke = high revs, power band 4-stroke = low end torque Oh yeah, I don't think there is a such thing as a "nice" 2-stroke Saab.... nyanananyananana... -- W_B Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com >>If you guys would just get a nice 2-stroke SAAB, you would not have to worry >>about this.

You are just jealous since I can sit 4 people in my 4-stoke vehicle and come out warm and dry in rainstorms or snow storms. Unless it never snows in DC. ..

If the amalgams were replaced due to decay and/or cracks it's hard to tell. If that were the case, you should have had a conversation about possible risks and consequences.
