About this treatment

A filling is made to repair a hole in your tooth. When you have tooth decay, caused by bacteria breaking down sugars in your mouth, a hole can develop. A filling helps to fill the hole and make the tooth strong and functional again. By filling the hole, further damage to the tooth is prevented.

Additional information about fillings

  • If the hole is deep or if you anxious If you are, the dentist can administer a local anesthetic so that you do not feel any pain during the treatment.
  • The dentist removes the affected tooth tissue using a drill or other instrument.
  • After the cavity is cleaned, it is filled with a filling material. This is usually composite (an artificial resin that resembles tooth color).
  • The dentist will ensure that the filling fits properly and smooth it out so that you can bite on it comfortably.

 

It is important to have your teeth cleaned regularly checkso that any cavities can be discovered and treated in time.
