Dear Patient Chewing forces of teeth are heavy . It's normal for some breakage in the filling if you don't take precautions . Usually a refilling would be enough to save the tooth. Eating very hard foods can damage even permanent filling. The exact cause can be known after check-up. Hope this helps
