A filling is done on teeth that are damaged by decay. This restores it back to its normal function and shape, along with preventing further decay. Tooth fillers are the most common procedure that takes place in a dental clinic. At Conquer Dental Hospitals, there's no need to worry, especially if you maintain a good oral (brushing & flossing) routine.
Would I need a filling?
If on examination, a dentist (seeing with a small mirror) notices any abnormal changes such as discoloration, sensitivity to temperature changes or tooth defects, it would warrant a filling. This will then be closely checked and an X-ray (OPG or RVG) would be taken. The treatment/filling will depend on the extent of damage and the type of filling you agree on.
