Who requires dental filings?
Dental fillings may be recommended for individuals who have:
Tooth Decay:
Dental fillings are commonly used to treat cavities caused by tooth decay. When bacteria in the mouth produce acids that erode the enamel, it leads to the formation of cavities. Fillings help restore the affected tooth's structure and prevent further decay.
Chipped or Cracked Teeth:
Teeth that have been chipped or cracked due to trauma, injury, or biting on hard objects may require fillings to restore their shape, function, and appearance. Fillings can help protect the tooth from further damage and improve its aesthetics.
Worn Teeth:
Over time, teeth may become worn down due to factors such as teeth grinding (bruxism), acidic foods and drinks, or aggressive brushing. Fillings can be used to build up and reinforce worn teeth, restoring their strength and integrity.
Cosmetic Purposes:
Dental fillings made of tooth-colored composite resin can also be used for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of teeth affected by minor imperfections, such as small gaps, discoloration, or uneven surfaces. These fillings blend seamlessly with natural tooth enamel, creating a more aesthetically pleasing smile.
Exposed Tooth Roots:
Gum recession or toothbrush abrasion can lead to the exposure of tooth roots, which are more susceptible to decay and sensitivity. Fillings may be used to cover and protect the exposed roots, reducing discomfort and preventing further damage.
Replacing Old Fillings:
Over time, traditional metal amalgam fillings may become worn, discolored, or loose, requiring replacement. Many patients opt to replace old fillings with tooth-colored composite fillings for improved aesthetics and durability.
Preventing Tooth Decay:
Dental sealants, which are thin plastic coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars, act as a barrier to protect against bacteria and food particles that can lead to decay. Sealants are often recommended for children and teenagers to help prevent cavities in the grooves and pits of the back teeth.
