Should I replace a crown I had 15 years ago?
When I was young, I neglected this care, so I had to get a lot of dental treatment.
I had a lot of cavities, and at the time, they looked a bit like iron color, and I think they're called amalgams. When I opened my mouth, they were really noticeable, and there were issues, so I had them replaced.
But I guess that was the best thing to do at the time.
And, when I was around 20 years old... I received treatment to remove all of those, cover them with gold, and fill in the ones that needed to be filled with gold.
But... it's been more than 15 years now...
I also did a lot of gold plating and peeling, like the image below. But
I'm wondering if I can continue using these or if I should replace them.
I think I heard somewhere that gold needs to be replaced when it gets old.
I'm worried.
