A tooth or dental filling is often used to treat a cavity or to repair a cracked or broken tooth. Restoring the tooth with a filling helps preserve the integrity of the tooth and prevent future damage. It can help you avoid losing the tooth.
Tooth-colored “white” fillings are made of composite resin materials and are available in a number of natural-looking shades to match existing teeth. They are non-metallic and mercury-free, and many have fluoride-releasing properties that can help to reduce cavity potential and help strengthen teeth. Composite fillings can be a great solution for repairing areas of decay or small fractures in teeth, especially chipped or worn front teeth.
Signs You Need a Tooth Filling
The signs and symptoms depend on the cavity or fracture, plus the extent and the location on the tooth. Some signs you may have a cavity that requires filling include:
- Toothache
- Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold drinks or foods
- Mild to sharp pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot or cold
- Visible holes or pits in your teeth
- Brown, black or white staining on the surface of a tooth
- Pain when you bite down
Benefits of Dental Fillings:
- Fillings can last upwards of 15 years
- Blends in perfectly with the rest of the teeth
- Preserve the integrity of the tooth and prevent future damage
- Improve your smile and appearance
