  1. DO DENTAL FILLINGS LAST FOREVER? KEY FACTS EXPLAINED Georgianmallfamilydental.com

  2. Dental fillings are durable solutions for tooth damage, but they do not last forever, and their lifespan depends on various factors, including proper dental care. Georgianmallfamilydental.com

  3. Why Don't Fillings Last Forever? Fillings endure constant chewing pressure, temperature changes, and bacteria exposure, causing wear, cracks, or decay over the years, which usually limits their lifespan to 5-15 years. How Do You Know If Your Filling Needs Replacement? Biting pain, food sticking to teeth, visible cracks, gaps, or discoloration around fillings are common signs indicating the need for a prompt dental evaluation. Georgianmallfamilydental.com

  4. What Happens If a Worn Filling Isn't Replaced? A damaged filling allows bacteria to invade, leading to potential decay or infection, which, untreated, may require advanced treatments like root canals to restore dental health. How Can You Make Your Fillings Last Longer? Extend filling lifespan by reducing chewing force, maintaining daily brushing and flossing, and scheduling dentist appointments regularly for check-ups and necessary X-rays when needed.
