Got a composite filling? on a chipped tooth?

Question

do i have to keep it forever.. :( i have a composite filling on a second molor on my tooth because i chipped my tooth, tiny bit of my tooth gone now so they filled it. I hate the fact i have a filling now, can i just live without it?

Answer 1

Unfilled cavities will eventually totally decay without proper intervention to stop the decay.  Damaged teeth can also eventually decay, depending on the degree of damage. What's so bad about having a filling? It's better than losing your teeth.

Answer 2

leave the filling alone as it was put there to fill a crack and if its not there then you will eventually end up getting decay and may loose the whole tooth. it will be there forever if you look after it and so will the tooth.
