Dental fillings are a common restorative treatment used to repair teeth affected by cavities or decay. The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a material that restores its shape, function, and integrity. Various filling materials are available, including amalgam (silver), composite resins (tooth-colored), glass ionomer, and resin ionomer.
Composite fillings are popular for their aesthetic benefits, as they blend with the natural color of the teeth, making them ideal for visible areas. Amalgam fillings, though less aesthetically pleasing, are known for their durability and strength, making them suitable for back teeth that endure significant pressure. The choice of filling material depends on factors such as the location of the cavity, the extent of decay, and patient preferences. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of fillings and address any potential issues.
