Do I Need A Filling For My Teeth?

Have you currently experienced mild or heavy toothaches?

Have you recently noticed one or more obvious cavities?

Have you currently felt food particles stuck between your teeth?

It is unlikely you need a dental filling with composite material. Such restorations are used for caries treatment. Remember to visit your dentist twice a year for a checkup to keep your teeth strong and healthy.

While it is unlikely you need dental filling for your teeth, it is a good idea to visit your dentist twice a year for a checkup.

Based on your answers, it is likely you need a filling for your teeth due to some kind of damage. Experiencing decay that is untreated is a risk for your teeth because of the inflammation caused. Tooth filling helps dentists repair cavities and avoid further progress. If you faced enamel cracking or your teeth need aesthetic restorations (composite veneers) composite filling can also fix these issues. Visit your dentist for further examination and treatment.

A toothache may be the most common sign that you need a filling. Damages of your previous fillings also can indicate that they need replacing. Non-carious defects are also at risk due to sensitivity and high penetrative features. If you brush your teeth twice a day and floss afterwards you may reduce some risks. Schedule a visit to your dentist for further examination and treatment as soon as possible.
