Hi,
Just came back from a routine checkup.
I was informed an Xray had shown up decay beneath a filling. How common is this please?
Accordingly, I need treatment. I was shocked because I thought the whole purpose of having decay drilled out and a filling inserted was to address the issue. I have never had a filling removed to tackle dental decay under the filling before and I am an adult with decades of visits to dentists.
The dentist did not indicate whether this was a recent filling or an old one - I suspect it is a filling which was inserted 6 months ago.
Concerned.
Many thanks,
KR
