Another filling query

My filling fell out and the dentist replaced it, but did warn me that it might not last. About 3 months later, it did fall out. I went back and she explained that because my gums bleed so much ( various medies for a heart problem limit the kind of injections she can give me) the filling is hard to fix. This time it fell out before I got home. Going again soon and she has said that "more drastic methods may be needed". This does not fill me with joy. What is likely to happen? Thanks.

    No Idea.

    Simplest way would be to use rubber dam. Quite routine for a dentist who's used to it.
    How to find a dentist.
    1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
    2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
    3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
    4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.
