Dental Health and Dental Fillings In Lagos
The insertion of tooth fillings is one of the most commonly performed procedures by dentists. These materials are used to fill up the holes in your teeth created by cavities. Fillings have been traditionally made out of metal alloys, but composite fillings are becoming increasingly popular nowadays.
Fillings help to protect teeth that have already been damaged by tooth decay from decaying any further. Once a tooth if filled up, any pain or discomfort associated with the cavity should go away.
Look At This Dental Filling Information
Fillings are also one of the cheapest medical procedures performed. That’s one of the reasons why it’s so important to go to your dentist immediately if you notice any cavities in your mouth.
Once the cavity grows to the point that the pulp chamber is compromised, you’re going to end up spending a lot more than fillings cost to save the tooth.
While silver amalgam fillings are good enough to get the job done, these tend to be more visible in your mouth. Composites, on the other hand, look just like your natural teeth, so people won’t even be able to tell that you have fillings in some of your teeth.
Let's Take a Look At Five Benefits Of Tooth Fillings:
1. Stops The Cavity From Growing
When you get a filling, your dentist will clean out the decayed part of your tooth. He/she will then pour in the filling material, sealing the hole created by the cavity. That protects the nerve endings in your dentine from being exposed to the temperatures of the foods you eat and acids created by the bacteria in your mouth.
It is the exposure of these nerves that often leads to toothaches when you have cavities.
2. Improves The Structure Of The Tooth
Composite fillings help to improve the structure of your tooth. Instead of the tooth being hollowed out by the cavity, the filling will give it much needed support. Fillings are temporary solutions, so there is no damage done to your tooth during its application.
3. Strengthens Fractured Teeth
Fillings can be used to repair a fractured tooth. A white composite is often used for this purpose. One of your teeth can become fractured due to oral trauma from physical activities like sports or an accident. Your teeth can also become fractured when you chew on hard things like ice or hard candies
Your teeth become weaker as you age, so you become more vulnerable to chips and fractures.
4. Tooth Fillings Can Improve The Color Of Your Teeth
Composite fillings are often applied to teeth that are badly-stained and discolored. Your teeth can become stained as a result of the things you consume like coffee and red wine.
Bad habits like bruxism can also lead to your teeth losing their natural color
5. Protects Your Teeth From Decay
There are tiny holes that develop on your teeth that aren’t big enough to be considered cavities, but these holes tend to trap food particles and debris. Over time, these holes will eventually lead to tooth decay. Fortunately, they can be sealed with a composite filling.
