The Filling Rescue

If you have ever had a cavity, you may have heard of a dental filling. The purpose of a filling is to help to restore a tooth back to it’s normal function and shape. When you have a cavity, it means that your tooth decay has eaten away at your tooth and left a hole as a result. A tooth filling can also help to prevent further decay from developing, by sealing off areas where bacteria can enter. There are different types of fillings available that your dentist may use. Depending on your individual needs, your dentist will select the filling that is best suited for you. Each type of filling is made of different materials and the costs can vary. A dental filling can help repair and bring you back to good dental health.
