Not usually: There are many different kinds of fillings. Once you've saved your teeth with all of these fillings you have to have a dentist keep an eye on them to make sure you don't get new cavities. Silver mercury fillings can eventually cause small cracks that can break your teeth. White fillings are more technique sensitive and have to be done perfectly or else they'll get new cavities.
