1. What are dental fillings and when are they needed?
Dental fillings (also known as tooth fillings) are a technique that uses restorative materials to repair damaged, chipped, decayed, or gapped teeth.
🔹 Purpose of dental fillings:
- Prevent bacteria from entering and causing pulpitis
- Preserve natural tooth structure and chewing function
- Enhance appearance, especially for front teeth
🔹 Common filling materials:
- Composite (tooth-colored, aesthetic)
- Amalgam (durable, used for molars - less aesthetic)
- GIC (glass ionomer cement - for temporary use or children)
- Ceramic/Gold (high durability, higher cost)
🔹 When you might need a filling:
- Cavities, small chips, or gaps between teeth
- Tooth wear from grinding or acid erosion
- Post-root canal restoration
2. Procedure & sensation during filling
🔸 Step-by-step procedure:
- Clean the affected area
- Apply local anesthesia if necessary
- Shape the damaged area
- Place the filling material and sculpt the tooth shape
- Light curing (for composite)
- Bite adjustment and polishing
🔸 Does it hurt?
- Most fillings are painless. For deep cavities or areas close to the nerve, local anesthesia may be used. Mild sensitivity may occur for 1-2 days after treatment.
3. Longevity of fillings & potential issues
💠 How long do fillings last?
- Composite: ~3-7 years
- Amalgam: ~7-10 years
- Ceramic/Gold: 10+ years with proper care
💠 Factors affecting durability:
- Location (molars endure more force)
- Eating and hygiene habits
- Dentists technique and quality of materials
💠 Possible complications with poor technique:
- Gaps in the filling → food traps, bad breath
- Uneven bite or discomfort
- Prolonged pain if close to the nerve and untreated
