What are Dental Fillings?
Fillings are one of the most common dental treatments, aimed at restoring teeth that have suffered damage, usually from tooth decay.
When are they required?
Fillings are necessary in cases of:
- Caries that have caused enamel and dentin damages
- Small cracks or tooth damage that can develop into larger problems
- Old fillings that need replacement
- Aesthetic improvement
To preserve fillings in excellent state:
-
Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
-
Dental flossing daily
-
Do not forget to visit dentist regularly for checkup, so as to preserve or promptly replace them if required
Requirements for Proper Dental Fillings
-
Early diagnosis - filling should be performed when tooth decay is in an early stage, so that the damage does not progress to irreversible inflammation of the nerve, which may require endodontic treatment (root canal)
-
Appropriate choice of material and treatment method - the dentist will choose the right material and method, depending on the position of the tooth, the surfaces that have been damaged, and the patient's special needs (occlusion, aesthetics, etc.).
