I had it placed with NOTHING , but he kept pushing my mother ... to make me replace it with white fillings ... I smiled and told him .. I am 22 years of age .. your asking my mother ? i also said silver fillings are bad ... white fillings are just less bad ... but its still very much bad =) , and i smiled ... He was a very strange man though .. My sister and brother and mom were both wathing the doctor as he was doing his job ... It was close for a dental filling to go to my throat ... But he caught it with the Air Vacummer or what ever u call it .. lmao , anyways i wont be going to the doc again .. i am glad i have both my fillings removed ... though there is this strange taste in my mouth when i had it removed like an hour ago ...
