At my recent appointment to have a filling, I told my dentist I wanted a white filling and he didn\u2019t seem too excited about doing it. He was more interested in telling me about the risks associated with them \u2013 like the possibility of infection from saliva. I acknowledged the risks, but still wanted the white filling and he reluctantly did the procedure. It was a lot more painful than I thought it would be, and now, two weeks later, I still have a consistent ache on that side of my mouth. Will it go away? I\u2019m \u00a0taking a pain reliever to help, but don\u2019t know if I should call my dentist back. Any advice? &#8212; Cecelia<\/p>\n<p>Cecelia,<br \/>\nUnfortunately, you probably pushed your dentist out of his comfort zone. There\u2019s no doubt that when a dentist knows how and is completely comfortable doing white fillings, they will choose them over the old silver\/mercury amalgam fillings. There should be no problems with contamination from saliva when a dentist does it right. Your dentist was likely not comfortable with the procedure and that is why he was reluctant, and based on the pain your are experiencing it would probably have been best to back off.<\/p>\n<p>You need to find a dentist who knows how to do white fillings right and that can replace it. \u00a0When there\u2019s contamination during the bonding process, bacteria gets in the little tubules of the dentin of your teeth, and it is not sealed against continual contamination. This should be fixed so that you don\u2019t have any further harm to your tooth.<\/p>\n<p>This post is sponsored by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\">New Orleans cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.
