General & Preventive Dentistry
It’s important that you see a dentist regularly for routine check-ups
Fillings
Fillings or cavity filling help to restore your damaged teeth to their normal shape and function. Depending on the damage to your tooth, dentists use several types of fillings. This is usually based on the material that your dentist uses to fill the cavity left by the decay. Some of the more common filling types include amalgam, gold, and composite fillings. Composite is the most preferred as they have the natural color of the teeth.
Common signs you may need a filling are as below:
- Sensitivity of the tooth
- Pressure felt within the tooth
- Toothache or pain, in or near the tooth
- A hole in the tooth that you can visibly see or feel when you touch it
Most symptoms start silently in the early stages and if found early usually mean a simple, cost-effective, and less invasive treatment is all that’s needed. Prevention really is the key. That’s why it’s so important to visit a dentist regularly.
It’s important that you see a dentist regularly for routine check-ups because not all decay and problems that might need a filling have symptoms or pain.
