Do you have to brush carefully when you have a filling?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That depends: That depends on whether you want to get more fillings. You don't have to brush carefully because your tooth has a filling, you have to brush carefully because you are cavity prone and do not want to get any additional cavities that will require additional fillings.
