4023. NDCS. Tooth filling of cavity of RU Premolar 14 with 20% of structure left

 1 Apr 2022. 

"Not likely to be retained," a dentist in NDCS had advised extraction. My RU Premolar 14 had a big filling done in Jan 2022 by a previous dentist, now resigned from NDCS. That filling lasted 2 months till it fell off yesterday.

"Please do not worry, I understand what you said," I thanked her for taking the trouble to fill the big cavity again. "Too large, insufficient bone to anchor this filling," she said. I knew she did an excellent job as she took much trouble and time to fill up the cavity. She is around 30 years of age, a committed professional of NCDS.

No more eating nuts and hard food on this filling which is still present as at 16 Jun 2022. This filling covered over 80% of the tooth which had fractured and dropped off, leaving a big crater like a volcano. Professional advices from an experienced NDCS dentist were also to extract it.
