  2. WELCOME TO OUR DENTAL CLINIC

  3. WHICH DENTAL FILLINGS ARE BEST FOR TOOTH DECAY? Twenty-six percent of adults in the U.S have untreated tooth decay. If not treated on time, tooth ● decay can lead to more severe dental health issues, including failing and abscessed teeth. This is why it’s vital to visit a Palo Alto dentist regularly so that they check for symptoms of tooth ● decay.

  4. DENTAL FILLINGS TO TREAT TOOTH DECAY If you have cavities, your dentist may advise you to have a dental filling done. ● There are different types of dental filling.. The right type of filling will depend on factors, such as: ● Dentist’s recommendation ○ The extent of the repair needed ○ The location of the cavity ○ Your budget/cost of the procedure ○

  5. WHAT TYPE OF DENTAL FILLING IS BEST? Amalgam fillings: Dentists have used amalgam fillings for decades. This is mainly because they ● continue to be the least costly filling type and also one of the most durable. Composite filling: Made from a mixture of resin and acrylic that is carefully applied to the cavity ● while soft, which later gets hardened by the LED light. Composite fillings are most popular because they closely match natural teeth. Gold fillings: More expensive than composite or amalgam restorations. They are, however, more ● durable. These are not very popular anymore. Ceramic: These are usually limited to large cavities as they can be difficult to fit well into small ● spaces without fragmenting. Glass ionomer fillings: These fillings release fluoride, which helps to prevent teeth from future ● decay.

  6. STEPS INVOLVED IN FILLING A TOOTH Examination and treatment plan: If your dentist believes that the cavity might be deeper, a ● tiny X-Ray might be conducted to examine that specific tooth. Removal of tooth cavity: In case the cavity is deep, your dentist may administer anesthesia ● to numb the area before they start getting rid of the decayed parts. Tooth filling and polishing: The filling material is carefully applied to fill the cavity. The ● finished tooth is polished and any excess material is trimmed off.

  7. CARING FOR YOUR TEETH WITH FILLINGS To maintain your dental fillings, follow good oral hygiene practices such as: Brushing with a fluoride toothpaste ● Flossing at least two times per day ● Visiting your dentist bi-annually for cleanings ●
