A tiny black spot after tooth fillings??
Question: Hi,
I just had fillings yesterday on the lower bottom right teeth (the last two teeth from the back). When I got back home, i found out that there is still a tiny black dot on the surface of my tooth, i thought the fillings were supposed to cover all of the black bits there and made your tooth looking like new again. I didn't know whether my dentist did it very quickly and missed a bit of the black spot, or because the spot was situated in the corner so he couldn't reach it? But it's impossible for him to miss it because i know he's very articulate.
It's not the look that bothers me, but i'm afraid the black bit will turn into a serious tooth decay in the future.
Answers: If you have noticed it then your dentist almost certainly knows it's there. This has happened to me a couple of times and I was surprised to be told by the dentist that it was an area that had 'remineralised'. Very early decay seems to do this, but I'm not a dentist so perhaps you could phone your surgery and just mention your concerns?
its a cavity
I have had to have a couple of fillings and I can say this has not happened to me before. If your dentist is usually very precise he may not have thought it was a risk, but I would mention it to him/her ASAP as it's best to be sure.
