Visitor asks:
Dear Sir/Madam! I would like to know about replacing a filling. My daughter is supposed to get fixed braces and was therefore told to replace her current filling with a white one. The filling would be very small, on the inner surface of a first molar. Is this necessary or can the braces be fitted over the old filling? Thank you for your answer.
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
If the filling is otherwise satisfactory, there is no need to replace it before the braces are fitted. I believe that the dentist wanted to warn you about a poor filling that would be very difficult to replace later once the braces were already in place. Follow his advice.
Have a nice day!
