Tooth coloured fillings, as their name suggests fill the minor cracks and holes that develop in teeth due to decay. As the first level action against cavities, tooth fillings prevent further decay and save you from needing root canal treatment. Of course, tooth fillings can help only if the cavities are detected at an early stage.
How are tooth coloured fillings done?
Cavities would be detected by your kids and family dental clinic during preventive dentistry check or when you visit the clinic for tooth ache. The dentist may give a local anaesthetic and clean the cavity and prepare the inside of the tooth for filling. She will then close the cavity with the filling made of composite, i.e., blend of plastic resins and silica material. The tooth will be back on active duty once the anaesthetic effect subsidies. But follow your dentist’s instruction on when to start using the tooth.
Advantages:
The wisdom of “prevention is better than cure” is most applicable to dental problems. From that point of view, fillings prevent/ delay bigger troublessuch as infection, inability to eat properly, root canal treatment or extraction.
Fillings offer three main advantages.
• Tooth coloured fillings are made from a mix of medical grade plastic and silica fillings. They spread the biting force evenly which helps you to chew more comfortably.
• The material is stronger, lasts longer and prevent further infection for a longer time than silver fillings.
• For appearance and looks, tooth coloured fillings are the best option. Because of their colour, they look very much like your natural teeth. People can’t detect them easily when you smile (or even laugh) or speak.
