i jus got fillings which r better plastic or silver? and any foods i shouldnt eat?
Answers:
White filling (Universal Composite) is extremely strong and is bonded to your teeth with a Cure Light.
I am 32 years old and have never had a cavity but if I ever did I would get the white composite.
I even have my dentist use it on my children.

tooth colored ones, (composite resin) are better because they are the same color as your teeth, amalgam (silver) probably last longer but dont look very good and are still under intense speculation because of the amount of mercury in them. it has not proven to harmful yet, but some people believe that it may be the cause of many illnesses, some people cant have amalgam at all. i wouldnt take the chances even though it is cheaper. you can eat anything you want with fillings.
Plastic I think looks better but have silver also and they have lasted over 40 years. So your choice looks or durability. Go easy on the taffy for a day or so.

Plastic is prettier, but silver is more durable. For back teeth, silver is just fine, unless you laugh with your mouth wide open. Stay away from sticky foods, especially candy like taffy, jujifruits, etc. I have had a filling that has been in for years pulled out by a sugar daddy.
