A member asked:
Silver amalgam filling is not bonded to tooth like resin composite. wanted to know is it normal for amalgam filling moving a little bit on that tooth?

Not normal: A loose filling regardless of the material needs to be excavated and replaced. Call your dentist for an appointment.

See your dentist: Constant assault from eating and drinking, or stress from clenching or grinding, eventually may cause a dental filling to fail. See your dentist for examination, x-rays and treatment.
