Dental fillings are a common and effective way to treat tooth decay and restore your smile, but how much do you know about them? Here are some facts that you may find interesting:
Dental fillings are made from different materials, such as gold, silver, porcelain, composite resin, glass ionomer, and resin ionomer. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the location and severity of the cavity, the cost, and your preference.
Dental fillings can last for many years, but they are not permanent. They can wear out, crack, or break over time, allowing bacteria to enter the tooth and cause new decay. That’s why it’s important to visit your dentist regularly and take good care of your oral health.
Dental fillings can sometimes cause sensitivity or discomfort, especially when they are new or exposed to hot or cold foods and drinks. This is usually temporary and can be relieved by using desensitizing toothpaste or mouthwash. However, if the pain persists or worsens, you should see Dr. Van Wagenen and Dr. Ence as soon as possible!
Dental fillings can improve your oral health by removing plaque and bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease.
