Restore damaged teeth and enhance your oral health
Tooth filling is a fundamental dental procedure aimed at restoring the integrity of a tooth damaged by decay or injury. When a tooth develops a cavity from decay, it creates a space where bacteria can flourish, leading to further deterioration of the tooth structure. Fillings are used to “fill” these cavities, eliminating the space for bacteria and restoring the tooth’s original shape and function

What are the types of materials used for restoration?
- Nowadays, there are various types of restorative materials, but the few basic types used for restoration are silver fillings, bio-compatible cements, and the most common materials used are composite resin. These teeth colored filling materials are soft at first, but they harden to the tooth after being treated by light.
What should I expect after my restoration is done?
Usually, you should avoid any hard food item that require chewing and biting too hard as your mouth might feel some sensitivity. Your tooth will feel as good as new. If u got a tooth colored filling, then you might not even be able to see where the filling has been done. You might feel a mild sensitivity or discomfort immediately after the restoration, but nothing to worry about, it subsides on its own within a few hours.
How long does the filling last, and how can I know if I should get it replaced?
A filling lasts 2-10 years, depending upon your oral hygiene, biting forces, saliva consistency, operator’s skills, type of material used, etc.
How can I know if my tooth is decayed?
As the tooth starts to decay, you might feel a few physical symptoms, such as food getting stuck in the holes in the teeth, you might feel some chipped off areas with your tongue, and there might be some dark spots on the teeth.
When tooth decay starts, you will feel mild sensitivity while eating certain foods like sweet, sour, or cold, and if it’s left untreated, it might progress to pain on chewing, and over time, it may lead to pain that might last for several hours.
It is important to note that not every tooth that is decayed will be symptomatic, and hence it is important to visit your dentist for a regular check-up before the decay becomes even bigger. Then filling might not be possible, and you may need to get a root canal treatment or extraction done.
I got a tooth coloured filling a few months back, and now the tooth has started to pain again. What should I do?
Usually, this doesn’t happen. If the tooth was too decayed, to begin with, then it might be possible that the tooth didn’t heal with a filling and might need a root canal treatment now.
