Hi,
I'm Jon, new to the forum. I'm hoping to get some advice on teeth and fillings. I have a mouthful of amalgam and white fillings. I've been diving since 2011 and have 64 dives. I've never had a problem with 'tooth squeeze' and as far as I know diving has had no negative effects on my teeth. I'm considering doing my Divemaster and Instructor training and want to hear from anyone with any experience of diving with a lot of fillings. I've heard some horror stories (teeth exploding!) and read that instructors can suffer more due to increased time spent in shallower water. I'd appreciate any advice or experience that you may have.
Cheers.
Jon
