Quick, Effective Treatment for Cavities
Our dental filling procedure repairs decayed or damaged teeth, restoring strength, shape, and appearance. At SSMILE DENTAL CARE, we use tooth-colored, durable materials to ensure a natural and long-lasting result with minimal discomfort.
What Leads to Needing a Dental Filling?
Dental fillings are commonly required when the structure of a tooth has been compromised by decay or damage. Ignoring minor issues can lead to bigger complications.
- Tooth Decay: Cavities caused by plaque and bacteria are the most common reason.
- Cracked or Worn Teeth: Due to grinding, trauma, or old fillings wearing out.
- Chipped Tooth: Caused by biting hard objects or injury.
- Acid Erosion: From acidic foods or conditions like acid reflux.
- Old Filling Replacement: Previously placed fillings may break or degrade over time.
Aftercare for Dental Fillings
After receiving a filling, it’s important to follow basic care instructions to ensure healing and long-term protection of the restored tooth.
- Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: Especially for the first 24 hours after the procedure.
- Sensitivity is Normal: Temporary discomfort to hot or cold is expected, but should subside in a few days.
- Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss daily to prevent future decay.
- Regular Dental Visits: Ensure all fillings are intact and teeth stay healthy.
- Report Pain: If the filling feels too high or causes pain while biting, consult your dentist for adjustment.
