Dental Health Care Focus: Dental Fillings

Posted .

When your tooth enamel is injured, a hole can begin to form. When the hole digs clear into the tooth’s root, it is known as a cavity. Fortunately, there is a dental treatment to treat cavities known as dental fillings. Focus your oral health care on dental fillings. Save your smile with dental fillings and these important facts:

– Dental fillings can be restored or replaced, so if a dental amalgam breaks, it can be taken out and replaced with a new one. If a composite filling breaks, it can be repaired or covered over without removing the original filling.

– Tooth-colored composite fillings can replicate the shade of your natural teeth for a seamless blend that can easily go unnoticed.

– Dental fillings can shield teeth against future cavities.

– Dental amalgams can be used to fix large cavities, and composite fillings can be used to fix small and medium-sized cavities.
