What are Dental Fillings?

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by cavities or minor fractures. When decay creates a hole (cavity) in your tooth, a filling is used to restore its shape, function, and strength, and to prevent further decay.

Types of Dental Fillings

Composite Fillings – Tooth-colored, blend well with natural teeth, ideal for front or visible teeth.
Amalgam Fillings – Made of silver, durable, and suitable for back teeth due to their strength.
Ceramic Fillings – Made of porcelain, stain-resistant, and aesthetically pleasing.
Gold Fillings – Long-lasting but expensive, used in cases where durability is prioritized.
Glass Ionomer Fillings – Release fluoride, making them good for children or areas prone to decay.

Dental Fillings Procedure

The dentist examines the tooth and takes an X-ray if needed.
The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed.
The cavity is cleaned and prepared for the filling.
The filling material is placed in layers and shaped to fit the tooth.
The filling is polished to ensure smoothness and comfort.

Precautions After Dental Fillings

Avoid chewing on hard foods for at least 24 hours.
Do not consume extremely hot or cold items immediately after the filling.
Maintain good oral hygiene – brush and floss regularly.
Report any sensitivity or discomfort to your dentist.
Schedule regular dental check-ups for ongoing care.
