LOL.
Maybe if the baby is your dentists baby you could use that as bribery!!! Or if you go to a dentist who would trade your baby for some fillings.
You can replace your white fillings if you wanted to.
I think that unless you are really worried about how they look that if the fillings are good then leave them alone. If it aint broke don't fix it. Sometimes replacing fillings can weaken the tooth, or require larger fillings. White fillings tend to require higher maintenance.
I guess if you're talking about at a free clinic then generally no unless your filling has a problem. doing cosmetic stuff makes waiting lists go boom.

Not unless theres something wrong with them. You do get free dental treatment when pregnant with the NHS, but the NHS doesn't cover white fillings. I think the answer would be no. You could visit your dentist and ask though. He/she may be in a good mood! Good luck

Nope. There's not enough medical proof of a danger for having the existing mercury based fillings, that any insurance company will cover the switch as anything other than cosmetic.

I don't think having a baby will give you the right to get FREE fillings or MUCH of anything FREE. LOL

What?! Your fillings don't affect your baby's health! You probably couldn't even get insurance to cover that because it isn't necessary. Try getting free diapers or something you actually need.

Your treatment should be free if you have your exemption ticket - mine was. Although I don't know if they will replace pre-existing fillings just for cosmetic reasons.
Try chewing on a toffee!!!!!!

Why would you think a dentist would donate his work to you just because you had a baby? He has to make a living, too... in fact he probably has his own babies at home to support.

Not a chance. Free dental work does not cover unnecessary cosmetic treatment.

If your dentist is willing to take the baby in trade . . .
