Enamel is what protects the tooth, when your tooth needs a filling, it is because that enamel is no longer in that area. As you have no enamel where your filling was, it is highly likely that the hole will get bigger. It's much better to get it filled again to prevent further problems.

Is it dangerous if a dental filling that you have had for decades containing mercury amalgam falls out?
No. There is very little mercury in a filling. A white filling will have more shrinkage with time which will cause them to need to be replaced, long before a silver filling. But you should get the tooth fixed right away.
If a dental filling falls out is it okay to put it back?
No. The filling came out because there is something wrong. Either there is decay under or around the filling, which caused it to no longer fit the cavity prep, the bite exerted too much force on the filling breaking it loose, or the filling material used has just worn out. In any case, a new filling needs to be placed, and the cause of the failure needs to be determined and corrected. See your dentist before the tooth requires root canal therapy. That can get very expensive.

If a dental filling falls out in two months should you have to pay for it?
You should expect to pay for the filling for the first placement. If you should pay for subsequent fillings on the same tooth depends on why the filling came out. If it was due to trauma, such as getting hit in the face, then yes, you probably ought to pay for the replacement. On the other hand, if it simply broke off, it may have been that the dentist was trying to be too conservative and placed a filling where a crown was really needed. In that case, the doctor ought to credit you the fee for the filling towards the fee for the crown. If you suspect that the dentist is simply incompetent, seek a second opinion or just find a new dentist.
