Tooth Fillings
|
• | People with Cavities: The most common reason for needing a dental filling is to repair the damage caused by cavities, which are the result of tooth decay. |
• | Those with Cracked or Broken Teeth: Fillings can also be used to repair teeth that have been damaged due to trauma, biting on hard objects, or other accidents. |
• | Individuals with Worn Teeth: People who grind their teeth or have an abnormal bite may experience tooth wear that can be restored with fillings. |
• | Patients with Eroded Teeth: Acid erosion from foods, beverages, or stomach acid can cause tooth material to wear away. Fillings can help restore the form and function of these teeth. |
• | Children: Young individuals who struggle with maintaining good oral hygiene are at a higher risk for cavities and might require fillings. |
• | Anyone Wanting to Replace Old Fillings: Over time, old fillings might need to be replaced due to wear, leakage, or further decay around the filling. |
