Cavity Fillings

This is the least invasive teeth restoration technique. Fillings don’t have particular base material.

Dental Fillings

All fillings use a common pliable material that is used to fill in an area of the teeth that doesn’t have any structure, probably as a result of treatment from decayed teeth.

With fillings, your occlusion becomes balanced, dental health is restored, and the risk of future dental problems is low. The side effects of white fillings are very uncommon, and there isn’t any associated recovery time.

But how do you know if your tooth needs a filling?

Illustration

Some certain signs and symptoms show that you may need a tooth filling. If you experience any of the following, you should see your dentist:

    Pain when eating.
    Food particles trapped inside or between teeth.
    Tooth sensitivity to cold, hot, or sweet foods and drinks.

At our practice, we will make you undergo a dental examination and radiograph to know if you need white fillings. Should the result turn out positive, we advise you to schedule an immediate appointment to keep away any infection that could destroy the nerves in your teeth. This implies that time is of the essence, and whatever needs to be done should be done as fast as possible.

Caring for White Fillings

Taking care of your white fillings is simple. They can last from few to several years if given the correct maintenance. Reduce or completely stop the consumption of hard foods like nuts, candies, etc.

Regular brushing of your teeth at least two times a day will make fillings last long.

Two times a year, dental cleaning at our practise will also help.
