There are various signs and symptoms where teeth fillings can be required. The symptoms could be as below:

• A hole in your tooth
• Dark spots on the tooth
• Chipped or broken tooth
• Sensitivity to hot and cold food and beverage
• Single or multiple cavities

If you come across any of the symptoms as mentioned above, then there is a chance that you need a teeth or dental filling. The final decision will be of your Endodontist after a thorough oral examination.

Dental Filling (Teeth Filling) is normally required if your tooth is decayed. It can prevent further damage and can protect your tooth.

• The very first step in this process is to see how severe the infected tooth is. This is because Dental Filling is only suitable for minor fractures and decay
• The dentist then examines the tooth and if required an X-ray would be done for precise information
• Then the decayed or damaged tooth or the areas around it is prepared for restoration
• If the tooth is damaged, then a dental handpiece can be used to remove the damaged part
• A filling is then applied to the area to fill the cavity. The type of filling will depend upon case to case and person to person
• Finally, the finished tooth can be polished to conclude the dental filling procedure

If you have decay, then it is extremely important to get Fillings done because if the treatment is not done on time then slowly the enamel (outer part of teeth) start decaying exposing the dentin (the hard part below the enamel). The bacteria in your mouth will come in contact with dentin, causing infection. Once the infection starts, you will feel sensitivity and will then want to get Fillings done. But if you skip this part and do not get the treatment done on time, then the infection will reach to the nerve which will eventually damage the tooth and then one needs to undergo a Root Canal Treatment. You are also at risk of the infection traveling to the adjacent tooth making it prone to decay.

Fillings are a very affordable and efficient restoration method, but the cost varies greatly in different situations and for different patients. The cost of treatment is determined by the number of fillings necessary, and the material you choose. Investing in a filling to restore your teeth today might reduce your chances of needing more expensive procedures later. For example, if a cavity is left untreated, it can lead to loss of tooth and replacing a missing tooth is significantly costlier than a dental filling.

• You might feel soreness around your gum area, this will last only for a few days
• Avoid hard or sticky food for a few days
• If you have a habit of grinding your teeth, then make sure you use a mouthguard to protect your filling
• If you feel sensitivity for too long or if your dental fillings come out, visit your dentist immediately
• Maintain a good Oral Hygiene routine like cleaning, brushing, mouthwash & flossing
