Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 35 years old. Recently, my molar that had a silver filling broke. I do not have pain; however, the tooth has sharp edges, and the filling is still intact. What do I need to do now?
Kindly suggest.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern and would be happy to help. An old silver filling can get damaged, and the edges can break. If there is no pain and the X-ray does not show changes in the normal filling, then your dentist will trim the sharp edges.
I hope this helps.
Kindly revert in case of further doubts.
Thank you.
