Learn More About Fillings

To treat a cavity, we remove first the decayed portion of the tooth and then “fill” the area on the tooth where the decay was. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth or teeth that have been worn down from misuse (i.e., nail biting or tooth grinding).

The location and extent of the decay, cost of filling material, insurance coverage, and your dentist’s recommendation will all help determine the type of filling that best addresses your specific needs.

Caring For Your Fillings

To maintain your fillings, you should follow good oral hygiene practices: visit us regularly for cleanings, brush with a toothpaste containing fluoride and floss at least once daily. If your dentist suspects that a filling may be cracked, he will take x-rays to assess the situation. Call us and make an appointment if your tooth is extremely sensitive, if you feel a sharp edge, if you notice a crack in the filling, or if a piece of the filling is missing.
