I've got to have a very small filling done on UL6- what colour will it be?

The slivery one or the white one?

It's on the NHS

    As far as I'm aware white fillings are cosmetic only and o not covered under the NHS

    Yeah, I had a sliver one done on my molar the other day. But you can see UL6 (I'm not sure if it's a front tooth) the NHS provides fillings in white for front teeth, I think?

    an ul6 is at the back on the top left - are you sure you have the correct tooth? We can not say with certainty what you are likely to be offered because on back teeth the SIDES can sometimes be filled with a white filling

    I had a filling done the other day, on UL6 MO, I've got to have another one done in 'UR6 OP' but it doesn't say what the material is.. but as far as I know it's a front tooth isn't it?

    thats how I would note back teeth with biting surface holes. Normally they would be amalgam.
