this may be a very foolish question

but i am going to get a bunch of filling done due to the fact that my teeth are very close together and that i don't flase as often as i should.

So i am wondering does filling increase the chance of your teeth falling out at a early age?? are they bad for you in the long run?

thanks and sorry about this foolish question

If you have cavities you need to get them filled, otherwise you will end up with root canals or having to get teeth extracted. A properly placed filling will last a long time and save your tooth! Just make sure you have a good dentist !
