Is it possible for a clear/white filling to turn silver?

I randomly have silver on the side of my back teeth near my filling I was wondering whether this was my filling or what? Im sure I never had it and it has just randomly appeared suddenly? Any ideas?

Answer #1

Honestly, this is a question for a dentist… :]

Answer #2

It sounds like staining. I can’t say I’ve ever heard of a white filling turning into a silver one, but it may be something to bring up with your dentist next time you have an appointment.
