Determining the Need for Dental Fillings:
- Presence of a cavity or hole in the tooth.
- Dark spots on the tooth surface.
- Food getting stuck between specific tooth areas.
- Chipped or broken teeth.
- Sensitivity to hot and cold foods and beverages.
- Detection of single or multiple cavities.
Should you encounter any of these symptoms, seeking advice from an Endodontist after a comprehensive oral examination is crucial.
Dental Filling Procedure:
Dental filling becomes imperative when a tooth is decayed, aiming to prevent further damage and safeguard the tooth. The process involves:
- Assessing the severity of the infected tooth.
- Conducting a thorough examination, potentially including X-rays for precise information.
- Administering local anesthesia for numbness around the infected tooth.
- Preparing the decayed or damaged tooth for restoration, using tools like dental handpieces or lasers.
- Applying a filling material, with the type determined case by case.
- Polishing the treated tooth to conclude the dental filling procedure.
Consequences of Delaying Dental Filling: Neglecting timely dental filling for decay can lead to enamel decay, exposing the dentin and inviting bacterial infection. If left untreated, the infection may reach the nerve, necessitating a Root Canal Treatment. Additionally, there’s a risk of the infection spreading to adjacent teeth, making them susceptible to decay.
Types of Dental Fillings:
Various types of dental fillings cater to different needs:
- Metal Filling: Long-lasting, with options like Silver and Gold.
- Amalgam Filling: Widely used and researched, known for high strength.
- Composite Filling: Tooth-colored and suitable for front teeth but may not last as long.
- Porcelain/Ceramic Filling: Aesthetic choice, long-lasting, resistant to staining.
Post-Treatment Care for Dental Fillings:
- Wait for anesthesia to wear off before chewing.
- Avoid extremely hot or cold items initially.
- Expect mild soreness for a few days.
- Steer clear of hard or sticky foods temporarily.
- Use a mouthguard if you grind your teeth.
- Address prolonged sensitivity or lost fillings promptly with a visit to the Endodontist.
- Maintain a robust oral hygiene routine, including cleaning, brushing, mouthwash, and flossing.
