    Dental Filling Process

    The dental filling procedure is safe and simple, which involves:

    Examination and Diagnosis

    The dentist will discuss your concerns, examine your teeth, identify decay using visual inspection, X-rays, or other methods, and recommend the appropriate filling material.

    Cleaning the Tooth/Decay Removal

    The decayed tooth structure or damaged portion of the tooth is carefully removed to prevent further damage.

    Filling Placement

    The chosen filling material will be carefully applied, shaped, and polished to match the tooth and then set to restore the tooth’s form and function.

    Aftercare Advice for Dental Filling

    • Avoid eating immediately. Wait until numbness 9if any) subsides.
    • Regular brushing and flossing daily.
    • Maintain healthy oral hygiene.
    • Schedule regular dental checkups to monitor your filling.
    • Avoid hard or sticky foods that may dislodge or damage the filling. Stick to soft food for the first 24-48 hours.
    • Avoid bad habits, such as nail biting or chewing on hand objects like pens.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the dental filling procedure painful?

    No. Local anaesthesia is required to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience during the procedure. But, you may feel mild sensitivity during the procedure and slight pain afterwards. Both are common and temporary.

    Is it possible to have a filling between teeth?

    Yes, fillings can be placed to restore decay or damage between teeth, which ensures proper dental function and aesthetics.

    Can I get a temporary filling?

    Yes. Dentists sometimes suggest temporary fillings to hold the space until a permanent filling is placed.

    What happens if I don't get a filling?

    If you leave a cavity untreated, it may lead to further decay, infection, and even tooth loss.

    Can dental fillings fall out?

    Dental filling can become loose or fall out due to dental wear, decay around the filling or trauma to the tooth. Regular dental checkups can catch these issues early. If your fillings fall out, then consult your dentist immediately for replacement to avoid further damage to the teeth.
