Cavities!!?

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?

Cavities!!?
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.
Reply:i think depends on how old you are.
Reply:i think it stays, at least mine did. ill have to ask my great aunt
Reply:The filling stays where there. It may wear and need to be replaced eventually.


But teeth do not grow after adulthood.
Reply:it depends on ur age. After 40 ur tooth stops growing.
Reply: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
Reply: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...
Reply: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.
Reply: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.
Reply:filling the cavity in normal circumstances stay. The Doctor will be happy to explain you such doubts.Do no have any hesitation in clearing your normal doubts from the doctor.
Reply: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.
