Dental Fillings

The quality of a filling depends on the material you select, but all of them will allow you to chew as normal, will protect the nerves from sensitivity and will improve your appearance. One fillings will also last a long time, between 5 to 15 years.

An ideal candidate would have cavity in a tooth and would like to enhance his appearance.

When preparing for your dental filling, it is important to decide which type of filling is best for you. Many dentists will claim that gold is the best material, but it is also the most expensive. Silver fillings are much cheaper than gold, but they may be much more noticeable, and so they are usually best for back teeth. Composite resin fillers are appropriate for front teeth as the colors match that of your other teeth; same goes for porcelain.

The only risk involved is a very rare allergic reaction to silver fillings. In the event of this happening, your dentist would simply remove it and replace it with another material.

Over the past few years, some concerns have been raised about the dangers of amalgam being related to some diseases, including Alzheimer’s; however, as of yet, there is absolutely no actual evidence.

In order to keep your filling in good shape, you will have to adhere to strict oral hygiene practice and brush your teeth often. You should also visit your doctor for regular check-ups.
