Replacing old dental filling

2017-11-07 06:17:29
I noticed tooth decay( no pain) around my 10 year old tooth filling ( molar tooth). When is the right time to get tooth filling replaced? Does regular filling replacement lead to tooth detoriation?

Not necessarily. If there is secondary caries then it's better to get new restoration
