In my life I have had 2 cavities, 5 teeth filled due to soft enamel, and one other tooth break.
The five teeth that were soft enamel all eventually went to root canal (wt one cracking to the root on an olive) after a period of 25 to 41 years. Of the other 2 one filling lasted 41 years..the other 37 years before being replaced with a composite....

The main failure for me was that the silver fillings over time get pressed down into the tooth causing it to crack. The other tooth as stated was broken on a fking salad...
