Hi fiona,

if your doctor is sure about the treatment given, he should give you the permanent filling only.
temporary filling as the name suggest is only for short time.
if it get dislodged again you will get the infection in that tooth.
if you need any further treatment in the same tooth, we can remove that permanent filling also.
so i suggest take safe and sound treatment by getting the permanent filling only.

Thanks.

hello mam ,
there is no problem to go for a permanent filling during pregnancy. if you can be seated comfortably in the dental chair then dont worry ,permanent filling will not affect you or your child in anyway. but be careful with the drugs you are given. take care.
