A member asked:
If the filling fell out, what will the dentist do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends...: The dentist will either re-cement the filling, or replace with a new filling. Which method is chosen depends on what material was used for the filling that just fell out. Oftentimes, however, when the filling falls out there is decay underneath and a new treatment plan may be needed for the tooth.
