Question about fillings?

Question

I had two fillings on both upper sides of my mouth for about six months, and they fell out. I'm not exactly sure when this happened because I did not notice a change in any of my daily oral hygiene routines, but upon asking a friend to check for me, it appears that they have indeed fallen out.

Here are my questions. Do I need to immediately have them refilled? If so, is it likely that I will need any sort of numbing for when the fillings are being replaced? I'm not really worried about getting a shot but I like to be prepared so any help is appreciated. :)

Okay, thank you so much!

One more question. Would it be okay to wait until after Febuary of next year to have them filled or should I make an appointment for sometime sooner?

Answer 1

HELLO,
I LOVE ANIMALS TOO.
YOUR FILLINGS SHOULD BE REFILLED. WAITING UNTIL THE NEW YEAR BEGINS WILL BE FINE.
DON'TJUST FORGET ABOUT THEM. YOU MAY NEED A SHOT FOR THE FILLINGS, BUT DON'T LET THAT FRIGHTEN YOU. THINGS WILL BE FINE.
SEE A DENTIST NOW TO FIND OUT WHY THESE FILLINGS FELL OUT?
IF YOU WANT GET THEM FILLED THEN. GOOD LUCK.

Answer 2

sweetheart dont worry. your fillings fell out because your dentist is not either doing a good job and using the wrong technique. usually fillings are cleaned up every 6 months, yeah, i havent changed mines in 2 years because i cant tolerate pain and they havent fallen out and i know dam well for sure my dentist is qualified. oh and u will get pricked with a needle just to numb the area so u wont feel pain and if u dont get them filled, your cavities will get so bad that it will eat up until it reaches the nerves and might have 2 get the tooth pulled out so dont wait toooo long! and change your dentist!!!
