Dental Fillings
More than 25% of adults have untreated tooth decay
What’s a dental filling / dental restoration?
Dental fillings are restorative materials designed to repair teeth that have been compromised by decay, breakage, or damage. They are primarily used to address small cavities in the tooth enamel caused by decay. By filling these cavities, the dental fillings help to prevent further deterioration and restore the tooth's original shape, functionality, and strength. The longevity and durability of these fillings vary depending on the type of material used, which includes options like amalgam, composite, ceramic, and glass ionomer.
Who needs a dental restoration / Dental filling?
Dental fillings are beneficial for anyone who develops cavities, a common dental issue that can affect people of all ages. However, certain individuals may be more susceptible to cavity formation than others. Factors contributing to this increased risk include the consumption of excessive amounts of sugary or acidic foods and beverages, inadequate oral hygiene practices, and conditions like dry mouth that can affect oral health. Additionally, individuals who habitually grind their teeth or have a history of tooth decay are likely to find dental fillings particularly advantageous in maintaining their dental health.
