"Do fillings last forever" is difficult to answer since there are so many factors at play. There have been fillings that last over 40 years while others fail within 1 to 2 years. The factors can include:

Type of material (silver amalgam vs. Resin composite).
Location in the mouth.
Oral hygiene.
Sugar intake.
Occlusion (how the teeth come together).

So, while occasionally a filling can last a lifetime, that is not the norm. Just like nearly all other medical appliances and devices, they can and do wear out. It is a myth that all fillings will last forever.

Take these simple steps for a healthy mouth and a winning smile. Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks. Bacteria in your mouth feed on sugar from foods and drinks. Eat Foods That Protect Enamel. Calcium in food counters acids in your mouth that cause decay. Avoid Over-Brushing. Use Fluoride.
