My tooth to be filled.
My previous silver filled in one lower tooth is removed. So I want to fill it again. There is some white material left in my that tooth.
And cause of it I can't eat or chew properly. It pains.

Good morning sir
Previously they used to fill with silver amalgam giving base beneath
Visit near by dentist they will remove e and clean the fractured restoration then refill with composite material which is tooth coloured restoration
And since ur complaining of pain get an x ray done to check the Pulpal involvement, if it's too close then you will have to go for root canal treatment depending on x ray

That white material is known as a base. Go to a dentist. He/she will remove the old filling including base and do a new filling. There is nothing to worry about.
