Signs You Need a Tooth Filling

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may have tooth decay and should visit the dentist to determine if a filling is needed:
  • Sensitivity in your tooth to hot or cold temperatures
  • Throbbing or sharp pain in your tooth
  • Visible signs of a hole or dark area in your tooth
  • An uneven or rough feeling in your tooth
  • Persistent trouble with food getting stuck on or between your teeth

Types of Dental Fillings

Dental fillings come in various materials, each designed to meet different needs and preferences. Each type of filling material is chosen based on its suitability for different dental needs, ensuring both functional and aesthetic outcomes.
  • Composite Fillings
    Made from a blend of plastic and glass particles, composite fillings offer a natural tooth-colored appearance that blends seamlessly with your teeth. They are ideal for visible areas, providing both aesthetic appeal and effective restoration.

  • Glass Ionomer Filling
    Composed of a mixture of glass and organic acids, glass ionomer fillings release fluoride, which helps protect the tooth from further decay. They are commonly used in less visible areas where fluoride protection is a priority.

Can a tooth filling decay or get a cavity?

If you’ve undergone a dental filling procedure previously, you might assume everything’s fine and dandy with it. While the filling material itself doesn’t decay, it’s possible for tooth decay to develop underneath it, particularly if the filling is damaged or worn. Bacteria can infiltrate the crack, leading to the formation of a new cavity.

Dental Fillings: A Small Change with Big Impact

Restores Tooth Function

Dental fillings restore the tooth’s ability to function properly, allowing you to chew food and speak clearly without discomfort. This helps maintain normal oral activities and improves overall quality of life.

Prevents Further Decay

By filling a cavity, you prevent further decay and damage to the tooth, reducing the risk of more serious dental issues. This helps in maintaining the health and integrity of the tooth.

Enhances Aesthetics

Tooth-colored fillings provide a natural look, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth. This enhances your smile and ensures that the repair is virtually invisible.

Durable and Long-Lasting

Patients often find EMS airflow cleanings more comfortable than traditional scaling and polishing methods, making it a preferred choice for those with sensitive teeth or gums.

Minimally Invasive

The filling process is minimally invasive compared to other restorative treatments, preserving as much of your natural tooth structure as possible. This approach helps maintain the overall health and strength of your tooth.

Got questions? We have answers!

The lifespan of a filling depends on the material used and your oral hygiene. Composite and ceramic fillings typically last 5 to 10 years, while amalgam fillings can last 10 to 15 years or more.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the treatment. Some discomfort or sensitivity may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but this is typically temporary.
Yes, fillings can be replaced if they become damaged or wear out over time. Your dentist will monitor the condition of your fillings during regular check-ups and recommend replacement if necessary.

After receiving a filling, avoid eating sticky or hard foods for at least 24 hours to allow the filling to set properly. Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent further decay.

Alternatives to fillings include dental crowns or inlays and onlays, which may be recommended for more extensive damage or decay. Your dentist will discuss the best options based on your specific situation.
