Having decayed, broken,
Cracked or Cavity tooth? Tooth
Fillings is the best option you have to choose treating your
Decayed and Broken teeth. To treat your cavity your dentist will remove the
decayed portion of the tooth and then “fill” the area on the tooth where the
decayed material was removed.
Your dentist will review or test the area
during the decay removal process to determine if all the decay has been
removed. Once the decay has been removed, your dentist will prepare the space
for the filling by cleaning the cavity of bacteria and debris. The dentists
will make every effort to protect tooth and nerve of the teeth.
Today there is several
types of Fillings material available from which teeth can be filled, with gold,
porcelain, silver amalgam or tooth-colored, plastic, and materials called
composite resin fillings. There is also a material that contains glass
particles and is known as glass ionomer. This material is used in ways similar
to the use of composite resin fillings.
