What is a filling?

If you have ever had a cavity, you may have heard of a dental filling. Tooth decay destroys part of the tooth, leaving a cavity. The purpose of a filling is to help to restore the tooth back to it’s normal function and shape by filling in the cavity. Pit and fissure sealants can also help to prevent decay from developing, by sealing off areas where bacteria can easily enter the tooth. Depending on a number of criteria, your dentist will select the most suitable filling for you. Each type of filling is made of different materials and the costs can vary.
