What happens when I get a Filling?
When you get a filling, your dentist removes decay, cleans the tooth, and applies a filling material to restore its shape and function. The filling is shaped and polished to match your tooth. You might experience temporary sensitivity, but proper care ensures the filling lasts and maintains oral health.
How to know if you need a Filling
Common signs you need a filling may include:
Tooth Sensitivity: Experiencing pain or discomfort when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods.
Visible Cavities: Noticeable dark spots, holes, or pits on your teeth.
Toothache: Persistent or intermittent pain in a specific tooth.
Broken or Chipped Teeth: Damage to the tooth structure that may require restoration.
Worn Teeth: Significant wear or erosion affecting the tooth’s surface.
Sensitivity to Pressure: Discomfort when biting down or applying pressure to the tooth.
Gum Changes: Swelling or irritation around a particular tooth, indicating possible decay.
