The filling process
When you receive a filling, your dentist will remove any decay, clean the tooth, and apply a filling material to restore its shape and function. The filling is then shaped and polished to blend seamlessly with your tooth. While you may experience some temporary sensitivity, taking proper care of your filling will help it last and support your oral health.
Why might I need a tooth filling?
Tooth fillings are a common dental treatment used to restore teeth affected by decay, wear, or minor fractures.
Cavities, caused by the build up of plaque and bacteria, are often the primary reason for needing fillings. They prevent further damage by sealing the space where bacteria can enter, thus protecting the tooth and preserving its natural structure.
Beyond cavities, fillings are also beneficial for repairing cracked or broken teeth that have become damaged because of trauma or teeth grinding.
Additionally, if your tooth has worn down due to acid erosion from food or beverages, a filling can help restore its original shape.
By choosing to get a dental filling, you're opting for a restorative measure that can save you from more extensive and costly dental procedures in the future.
