So i got a few fillings yesterday but i was wondering since the doctors puts a filling in a cavity hole does the tooth grow and close or does the filling stay there forever?

Sometimes if you continually push at the filling with your tongue, they may fall out. (happened to me once. Cavity filling is disgusting!)
The tooth doesn't change much.

The tooth doesn't grow and the filling is permanent. Unless you break the tooth with the filling in it, you should be good to go for a long time.

The filling stays where there. It may wear and need to be replaced eventually.
But teeth do not grow after adulthood.

I was just at the dentist today and he told me that a filling is good for abour 14 years....so after that you need them replaced

it will stay...unless knocked out...
its pretty hard to get them out though...
the tooth grows normally....
example:
growing your finger nails an inch long
and then cut a whole through it....
your nail is still donig to grow the same.

If they did a good job it pretty much stays there for years and years. Don't make too much of a habit of chewing gum or crunching ice tho...

JESSE, WHAT THE DENTIST DRILLS OUT WILL NEVER GROW BACK, THAT'S WHY A FILLING IS PLACED TO FILL WHAT WAS DRILLED OUT. IDEALLY THESE FILLINGS WILL LAST FOR MANY, MANY YEARS.
