Survey: How many dental fillings?

As part of some research I'm collecting data on how many fillings teens and young adults have. If you could comment your age, country and number of fillings that would be great.

Additional information (age of having each filling, type of filling, which teeth, other dental treatment etc.) would also be useful. Thanks 🙂

One false tooth (top front-left) via one wing maryland bridge due to being punched in the face when I was 17 (I got my bridge when I was 23. Prior to that I had a denture plate thing for 6 years.)

Nothing else. No fillings. (Edit for clarification: this means I have all my other teeth, with no other teeth missing, and they're all in great nick.)

Whenever someone says they have no fillings it reminds me of this sort of pictures : istockphoto-178496494-1024x1024.jpg

When I was in uni and we studied statistics we had a few examples of checking only the main question without any filters....These pictures where brought as an example of an answer to "how many fillings do you have?" statistic survey.

I suppose I should have clarified... all my remaining teeth are great. No holes. No decay. None missing*
Hence no fillings.

*aside from the one I already mentioned, due to being punched in the face.

Didn't mean to cause such a mess... was just joking about statistic surveys.
