How long do fillings hurt

Anyone with a dental filling will find themselves having to replace it eventually. While fillings can last up to twenty years, many factors contribute to a dental restoration’s longevity.

Fillings have a limited period of use before they start to fail, so it’s essential to know the signs of a failing filling so it can be replaced before further damage occurs.
