Spring Clean-up

It's spring and time for replacing the old with the new. This includes your fillings. Ask your dentist to check the state of your fillings. Every filling eventually has to be replaced. Silver (amalgam) lasts 10-20 yrs, so your childhood fillings may be overdue for replacement. Fresh fillings can help prevent tooth decay and loss - and down the road root canals and implants.

White fillings (Composite), when done right, last as long as amalgam fillings.
