Frequently Asked Questions
What are dental fillings used for?
Fillings are used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or minor fractures. They restore the tooth’s shape, function, and strength while preventing further damage.
What types of fillings are available?
Common types include composite (tooth-colored) fillings, amalgam (silver) fillings, ceramic fillings, and gold fillings. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on the location and severity of the cavity, as well as your preferences.
Is getting a filling painful?
Most fillings are performed under local anesthesia, making the procedure virtually painless. Afterward, some sensitivity may occur, but it typically resolves within a few days.
How long do fillings last?
The longevity of a filling depends on the material used, your oral hygiene, and dietary habits. Composite fillings can last 5–10 years, while amalgam and gold fillings may last even longer with proper care.
How can I care for my fillings?
Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly. Avoid biting hard objects or chewing ice, which can damage the filling.
