What would cause a filling to fall out after a year and a half? i recently had a filling fall out of my molar after only being in there for a year and a half. what would cause that? did the dentist do something wrong?

The : The tooth may have fractured, the filling may have fractured, there may be recurrent decay, or there may not have been enough retention to hold the filling in place. See you dentist to determine the reason and have it repaired before more damage is done.

Dr. : Dr. Funari gives you good advice. So many things affect the longevity of a filling that without seeing the tooth it's hard to know why it failed. See your dentist for an explanation and a fix.
