What is a dental filling?

A dental filling, as the name suggests, fills a cavity that is caused by Dental Decay. Fillings can be made of different materials. They can be tooth colored, made of 'composite resin' materials. Silver Amalgam is also used to fill teeth.

Should you have any doubt, please consult your dentist for treatment options.

Fillings help to fill in spaces in teeth, prevent further damage to the tooth and protect the interior core of the tooth against exterior exposure to substances that may further damage the tooth structure.
