Tooth filling (Filling)
Tooth filling is a treatment for cavities or decay that is evident as clear holes, cracked teeth, or weakened teeth affecting only the tooth structure due to various reasons. These include using teeth improperly or biting hard objects like ice or bones.
Decay can be caused by bacteria turning into acid or other factors. Symptoms may lead to chewing discomfort and worsen tooth damage. Therefore, fixing the issue is necessary. Tooth filling helps reduce decay progression, alleviate tooth sensitivity, and restore missing parts of the tooth structure to regain strength. It aims to restore the tooth to its original state for efficient functionality.
