What are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are a common dental procedure used to repair teeth that have been damaged due to decay, wear and tear, or injury. During the procedure, your Aqua dentist will remove the decayed or damaged part of the tooth, clean the area thoroughly, and then fill the cavity with a material such as composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam. The filling material is carefully chosen to match the color and texture of the surrounding teeth, so that it blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. Dental fillings not only restore the function and appearance of your teeth, but they can also prevent further damage and decay by creating a barrier between the tooth and harmful bacteria.
Cavity Fillings
Cavity fillings are a type of dental filling that is used to repair teeth that have been affected by decay. When you have a cavity, it means that the hard, outer layer of your tooth, called enamel, has been damaged and eroded away, leaving a hole or pit in the tooth. If left untreated, the cavity can continue to grow and reach the softer, inner layers of the tooth, causing pain and sensitivity. Cavity fillings are a safe and effective way to restore the function and appearance of your teeth after they have been damaged by decay. They can help to prevent further decay, pain, and sensitivity.
Signs you may need a Tooth Filling
- Toothache or sensitivity: If you experience pain or sensitivity in your tooth when you eat or drink hot, cold, sweet, or acidic foods or drinks, it could be a sign of a cavity or a damaged tooth that needs a filling.
- Visible holes or pits in your teeth: If you can see holes, pits, or dark spots on your teeth, it may be a sign of decay or damage that needs to be addressed with a filling.
- Rough or jagged edges: If you run your tongue over your teeth and notice rough or jagged edges, it could be a sign of a chipped or cracked tooth that needs a filling.
- Pain when biting down: If you experience pain or discomfort when biting down or chewing, it could be a sign of a cracked or damaged tooth that needs a filling.
- Changes in the appearance of your teeth: If you notice changes in the color or shape of your teeth, it may be a sign of decay or damage that requires a filling.
