So I had a tooth filled about 4 months ago. Upper tooth, somewhere between canine and molar. About 3 weeks later, a huge piece of the damn thing comes out. I'd never had this happen before, but figured maybe its no big deal. I go back, he fills it for me again, but I notice he didn't drill the old remnants out, just put more material in the hole. Well, 2 weeks later, falls out again! I go back, pretty pissed, cause this is now the third time to have my mouth frozen and sit in the chair and waste 1 1/2 out of my day. This time he does seem to drill some more, and he tells me if this doesn't work, he will need to do a root canal.
Of course, it came out again yesterday, for the third time, all in about 4 months.
To me the answer is obvious, I need a new dentist. However, has anybody ever experienced anything like this before? It is in a weird spot, on the side of the tooth as opposed to the top. I just can't believe how much time I have wasted on this one tooth, and now, he will probably also charge me for the root canal also. This was a pretty minor cavity from what I understand.
