Do you have fillings in your teeth?

Inspired by the amalgam thread.

Since it can't be done in the poll, I'd also like to know your age + number of fillings, and when you had your first one done.

22 no fillings.

edit: fixed stupid numbers in poll. I always mess that up :(

Yep, at least 4 I think. Was cavity free last 2 checkups:). So proud of myself for not f*cking myself too hard... Oh, and I'm 21.

I'm 25 and I have one filling and one crown, though the crown apparently needs to come out.

37 - I voted 5-10, definitely pushing 10 if not a little more. I also have one root canal and another crown in hopes not to have another root canal.

edit: after my teen years I completely stopped getting cavities.

Just 1 that wasn't my fault.

It was some soft spot on the backside of my 12 year upper molars. It will need a crown someday..

Kids are lucky now since they can have sealants put on their teeth. The occlusal (top) crevices of the teeth are very cavity prone especially when your teeth first erupt. Just flow a little plastic in those crevices and even a careless brusher is likely to get a pass.
I have everything sealed up that possibly can be. :D

Braces never give you cavities. Only not properly cleaning your teeth while your braces are on will give you cavities.

I have several. At least 2-3 crowns (I can't remember). Front tooth has had a root canal.

I didn't get my first until I was around 17. I'm now 34.
