WHAT IS DENTAL FILLING?

Do you want an effective solution for dental cavities? Choose a dental filling / teeth filling solution that is used to fill the cavity. Tooth Cavity is caused by tooth decay, missing tooth and other tooth damage. Cavities can spread over time if left untreated, so the sooner they are treated, the less chance you have of severe dental problems. To prevent this condition, regular dental checkups are necessary. Without taking the necessary treatment, a cavity can lead to toothache, infection, and the loss of a tooth.

    Explore the steps we follow for Dental Filling Treatment

    Dental filling treatment is required if the tooth is decayed and missing. Through dental filling treatment, you can prevent further damage & protect your tooth.

    • When you reach our dentist, first, our dentist inspects your oral health condition. They will check how severely your tooth is infected. A dental filling is a suitable treatment for minor tooth decay and fractures.
    • The Endodontist examines your tooth deeply, and if required, they suggest an X-ray.
    • Our dentist administers anaesthesia, to keep the infected area numb. Based on the complexity of decay, they proceed to the further process.
    • After that, they prepare the surrounding area for restoration.
    • If the tooth is damaged, they use a laser solution to eliminate the damaged part.
    • In this step, our reputed dentist will use a filling to the area to fill up the cavity. The filling type depends on the individual cases.
    • At the end of the process, the finished tooth will be polished, and here, the dental filling procedure comes to an end.

    What consequences can a patient face after completing a Dental Filling Procedure?

    There are several consequences of dental filling. However, they are not serious. Some of them might be as follows:

    • Loss of healthy tooth: Portion fillings, like amalgams or ceramics, may necessitate the removal of a portion of the healthy tooth in order to achieve superior finishing and lifespan. Other fillings, including composite (resin) fillings and root canal treatment, might be used to avoid harm to the good tooth.
    • Sensitivity issues: Gold or amalgam-based (metal-based) fillings can sometimes cause both hot and cold sensitivity in the teeth. You may avoid this by using different types of fillings.
    • Darkening with time: Metal-based fillings acquire stains or become tarnished with time. Regular cleaning or protective caps might help keep black stains away from your fillings.

    Overview of the TYPE OF DENTAL FILLINGS

    The sort of filling utilized will be determined by the state of decay as well as other criteria, such as a person’s allergy to a substance. The many types of filling available are as follows:

    • Metal Filling: Metal filling (as the term says) is constructed mostly with gold with a mix of other metals. The average gold filling is 75% gold, with the remaining 25% made up of silver, palladium, or other minor metals.
    • Composite Filling: Composite fillings, commonly known as direct fillings, are tooth-colored adhesive-like materials that are immediately put into your tooth. A light-sensitive ingredient in its complicated structure cures to produce the hard-filling material when a high-powered beam is applied. Composite fillings are immediately put on your teeth, giving them the appearance of actual teeth. This is the most popular and widely used form of dental filling.
    • Porcelain / Ceramic Filling: Ceramic fillings are constructed of superior ceramic material. They’re not equally powerful as gold, but they’re chemically bonded to your tooth. When the restoration is cemented to the tooth, its strength improves significantly. A dental expert creates them, and they might resemble your actual teeth.

    Post-Treatment Care for Dental Filling

    • Your anaesthetic will wear off after 1-3 hours of the surgery. It is critical not to chew while on the numbing side (to avoid biting the tongue, lip, or other body parts) until the anaesthetic wears off.
    • Children should be monitored until the anaesthetic wears off. They may bite on the insides of their cheeks, lips, and tongue, causing severe injury.
    • It is typical for molars to be hypersensitive to heat, cold, or stress during the healing stages following surgery, and this will lessen within a matter of days to a number of weeks or more.
    • If the cavity is big or adjacent to the pulp/nerve within the tooth, the tooth may take longer to settle.
    • When you bite down after the anaesthetic has worn off, you may feel as if you are banging against the teeth (on which treatment has been done). The discrepancy in the bite may create further pain and should be corrected.
    • Because of the irritation caused by the operation, the gum tissue can remain painful for a few days. During the first phases of recovery, the anaesthesia site of injection may also feel uncomfortable or bruised.
    • Brushing and flossing: Once your filling has been set, you should continue with your usual brushing and flossing practice.
