The Gist on Tooth Fillings

Dental Fillings/Restorations | Hickory, North Carolina

Dental fillings are used to treat teeth that are damaged due to tooth decay. You might have tooth decay if you are experiencing symptoms such as extreme sensitivity to cold or hot food and drinks, constant toothache, jaw pain and/or bad breath.

Dental fillings help eliminate sensitivity and pain in the tooth and prevent any further damage from taking place. A simple check-up can determine whether your teeth need repair and if you need dental fillings. If necessary, an x-ray is taken to find out the extent of the damage.

What are dental fillings/restorations?

Dental fillings/ restorations are sometimes a necessity to maintaining good oral health. Teeth can be prone to cavities, especially if you skip dental cleanings, drink acidic beverages or do not floss regularly.

Dental fillings/ restorations repair decayed teeth back to their natural, healthy form. The decayed part will be removed and replaced with a filling. If you do need dental fillings/restorations in Hickory, North Carolina, we can help.
