Fillings are used to treat cavities. If dentists diagnose a cavity, the most common way to treat the cavity is with a filling. Additionally, fillings can be used for other dental procedures too. Our dentists in Colonia, NJ can give you more information about cavities and fillings.
When it’s time for you to get a filling, our dentists will choose a material that looks and feels natural. Fillings are made of many different materials, including resin, gold, porcelain, plastic, glass, and silver amalgam.
If you are looking for fillings near you, call our dentists near you. Our dentists at Colonia Dental Associates can help.
A tooth cavity is a decayed area in a tooth caused by bacterial activity that breaks down the enamel. It can lead to pain and requires dental treatment to prevent further damage.
Fillings are used for anyone who gets cavities. People can get cavities at any stage in their life.
If you want to prevent cavities, you first need to prevent tooth decay. For specific advice on preventing tooth decay, you should talk to the dentists.
Most people are able to prevent tooth decay by thoroughly brushing and flossing their teeth twice daily, using fluoridated toothpaste. Talking to your dental professionals about dietary concerns can also help lessen the risk of tooth decay. Going to the dentist twice per year also helps.
Cavities are diagnosed by our dentists at your regular appointments. If one of our dentists diagnoses a cavity, you will need to schedule an appointment for a filling.
At the appointment, you will be given a local anesthetic. Our dentists will use a dental drill to remove the decayed portion of the tooth and will clean the area. After that, the filling will be placed.
