Hi danin,

It is common practice to place white colored dental fillings on the sides of a tooth. Often the area is located along the gum line where there is some gum recession and some root is exposed causing sensitivity.

The area to be filled is roughed up with a drill to help give the filling some retention. They usually last for a few years before needing to be replaced.

Can the filing stay snug on side of the tooth? Would it not come off?
