Silver Filling Chipping??
927924
Finding some bits of metal after a filling is normal.  Don't panic.  If it keeps it up after you've brushed tonight and tomorrow morning, then I would call my dentist.\n\nYou should be able to brush and eat on that side as soon as it feels okay.  There aren't restrictions with that type of thing as far as I know.  I always did afterward though you might want to wait a day to be sure..  You might have some sensitivity to cold for a bit afterward, so be careful of that.

Metal fillings are toxic so you need to replace them at a very high cost to you and make the dentist rich.  The plastic fillings he will put in will look better, not last as long and probably lead to more root canals and crowns over the span of your life.  It's a win win situation for everybody. \nSeriously though, if they were toxic they would have to outlaw seafood too.  Leave your metal fillings alone they may fail someday, but why go looking for trouble.

I would look att he solution.  If you can't see solids then it's not saturated.

I have an allergy to metal as well.  Mine is not as severe as yours seems to be though.  My jeans button breaks me out but only in the immediate contact area.  I also cannot wear hypo-allergenic jewellry.  I can wear real gold but that's it.  I have metal fillings and have no problem, they do not come into contact with any skin.  I would like to tell you my experience with the other kind of fillings though, the white kind you can't really see.  That's the only kind my dentist likes to use.  When she gave me those my tooth never quit hurting.  They drilled it back out and used metal to refill it.  I will not use anything but a metal filling from now on.  The dentist told me that some people can't tolerate the other kind.   ???   Good luck.

I hope not! I've noticed I've been doing it since my mid-twenties, but I was able to "deal" with the dull pain. In the past six months, though, a filling came out of one of my molars and then a molar on the other side actually cracked! My dentist repaired both, but said it was due to my grinding, as were the cavities developing from all the wear and tear on my teeth enamel. So next month I'm getting fitted for a mouthguard to wear when I sleep.

It sounds like the hole in your tongue is too big for the stud.  You should get a bigger stud.  A much bigger ball might work, although it could also be too much of a mouthful.

No offense, but take it to a Professional. You will be better off. If you've got it "in your hands" there's a good possibility your frying it as I type this message.

Streaks may be what we call craze lines, small fractures in your teeth where the acid penetrates more, usually this is not noticable.  If you plastice fillings in your front teeth you should not be bleaching, unless you are aware that the bleach can penetrate any weakly bonded plastic (white) filling  anc cause it to stand out.  If this is the case your bleaching is about to cost you a lot more.  This is a pet peeve of mine,  You need to know these things before your a sold these things.  If you bought yout bleach OTC, then read the tiny little print in the packaging.

Possibly the material underneath the stainless is corroding and the rust found a way through. It's not necessarily solid stainless steel.

WOW Joyce, your question is the second time I've ever heard of (actually SAW it the first time) something like this.\nWe'd discovered that the water stabilizer had reacted with one of the pigments in the paint inside making both, a gas pocket, AND a cloudy mixture inside. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do about it except for taking it back where you bought it from and maybe trading it for another?\nHope that helps.

Are you sure the jewerly is 14k? This shouldn't happen,\nunless the metal underneath the gold is causing this to happen.

Well first of all, careful when you're playing with it. I got mine pierced and immediately started playing with it. I ended up ripping the pierce causing me immense pain for the week it took to heal. You can't really fix the hole unless you get a smaller gauge and then stop yourself from playing with it. The other person is right though. A metal barbell can leave miniscule cracks in your teeth causing them to rot. I have actually chipped one of my teeth with my tongue ring. For that reason I would recommend at least get a barbell with plastic capture beads. They also have ones with plastic barbells, but i found myself playing with that more than my metal one. My dentist even told me that the plastic ones are better, they do less damage to your teeth. Your other option is get a bigger gauge. Say you have a 14, see if you can use a 12. You should wait for a while before you try to do that, but it will make the bigger hole less noticeable. Of course, if you play with it and stretch it out....well I'm sure you know where I'm going with that. Hope this helps!

The answer seems to be to mix the gold with silver and wrap it in aluminum foil, thus eliminating the possibility of contamination.\n\nSee: http://www.gold.org/jewellery/technology/assay/

I think it's these metals chrome, cobalt, titanium, or ceramic materials can be used.  I think they have recalled ceramic because they were cracking though.
