A filling may be necessary when a tooth has been damaged due to slight trauma or decay. Left untreated, these issues can become very inconvenient in daily life, and lead to further issues in the future. The most common reason patients may require a filling is due to a minor dental cavity.
The process
Your dentist will first remove any decayed or damaged material from your tooth. They will then thoroughly clean the tooth to ensure there are no remnants left behind. Depending on whether you’d prefer a white or a metal filling, your dentist will then fill the gap with composite resin (white) or silver amalgam.
