Dental fillings are materials used by dentists to restore the structure and function of a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the empty space is filled with a durable material like composite resin or amalgam.
When tooth decay is not treated early, it can spread deeper into the tooth, causing pain, infection, or even tooth loss. Fillings help prevent further damage and allow the tooth to function normally again. They also stop bacteria from entering the inner layers of the tooth.
The dentist first numbs the area, removes the decayed part of the tooth, and then cleans the cavity. After that, the chosen filling material is applied, shaped, and hardened. The procedure is usually quick and painless, and most people can resume normal activities right away.
In general, fillings last for several years; however, their exact lifespan depends on each individual case.
No, the procedure is done under local anesthesia, so it is typically painless. You may feel some mild sensitivity afterward, but it usually goes away within a few days.
Yes, if the filling becomes worn out or if the tooth is exposed to too much pressure, it can fall out or break. Regular dental check-ups help detect and fix such issues early.
