TOOTH FILLING

Let’s learn about the structure of the tooth:

A tooth consists of three layers:

Enamel (hardest tissue)
Dentine (less hard than enamel)
Pulp (innermost layer, contains nerves and blood vessels)

If the decay just affects the first two layers of the tooth, filling or restorations can treat it.

An RCT or Endodontic treatment is required in the event that the tooth decay extends to the third layer and results in pulp inflammation or infection.

Reasons you might need a Tooth Filling:

Let’s learn about the structure of the tooth:

1. In the event of a cavity

2. Fractured or cracked tooth

3. Chipped tooth

4. In the case of tiny holes in teeth

5. Fillings for discolored teeth

6. In cases of gradual tooth structure loss

Teeth Filling Materials:

Let’s learn about the structure of the tooth:

Tooth Filling Procedure:

1. Glass ionomer cement fillings:
Glass Ionomer cement is a tooth-coloured dental filling material. It has a unique quality known as the “anti-cariogenic” property; this means that it stops caries from developing due to fluoride release.

2. Composite fillings:
Composite is a tooth-colored Tooth-filling material. After the tooth is prepared, the filling is bonded in the area and light cured. The dentist selects a shade to match your teeth therefore it is used where a natural appearance is desired.

Tooth Filling Procedure:

Consequences of not getting a filling done:

Tooth Filling Procedure:

We may perform one or two X-rays to determine the extent of tooth decay
First, we will numb the tooth with a local anesthetic if necessary.
Next, the decayed area is removed.
A probe is inserted into the area to determine whether all of the decay has been thoroughly removed or not.
Once the decay is removed, we will prepare space for filling by cleaning the cavity of bacteria and debris.
After the filling is completed, the cleaning and polishing are done.
In cases of tooth-colored fillings, the filling material is applied in layers. A special light that cures or hardens each layer is applied. When the filling is done, we will shape the filling material to the desired result

Consequences of not getting a filling done:

If you ignore the cavity that has been created, the pulp cavity could become infected and become very painful. Fillings won't be enough to treat the problem and one might require root canal treatment
