Title: Signs You Need To Get a Dental Filling (1)

  • Signs You Need To Get a Dental Filling
  • Dental tooth filling is one of the few dental
    restoration procedures that are carried out on
    the teeth. With this method, the initial state of
    health of the teeth is restored. There are many
    reasons for opting for a dental filling.
  • Some of them are under-listed.
  • Bleeding
  • Talking about more classic signs of teeth
    problems, bleeding is an offshoot of dental
    problems. Brushing becomes more difficult as the
    gums bleed due to the harsh abrasion. Periodontal
    disease requires a dental filling especially when
    bleeding sets in. tooth decay or gingivitis are
    causes of bleeding in the gums. However, there
    are other dental diseases that are characterized
    by bleeding.
  • Bad Breath
  • Although this is uncommon amongst people, it
    signifies a rising concern in the dental
    structure. Bad breathe is a serious health issue.
    Halitosis (bad breathe) arises when the cavities
    are damaged. While some people may have halitosis
    due to poor dental care, it may be due to more
    serious health issues. This dental problem
    requires dental filling solutions.
  • Once cavities set in, they drill small holes in
    the teeth. The bigger the hole gets, the more it
    can trap food particles. Further accumulation
    leads to halitosis.
  • Discoloration of Teeth - Presence of Holes
  • Apart from the holes caused by cavities, they
    also make the teeth more brittle. Eventually,
    brittle tooth chips easily. The creation of
    cavities begins from the accumulated
    discoloration of the teeth.
  • The Benefits of White Tooth Fillings

  • Since the 1960s, the white or composite fillings
    have been in existence. Their durability and
    strength have improved in recent times. For this
    reason, they are placed in the back teeth to
    inhibit the blackening of that region.
  • Unfortunately, the subsequent expansion of metal
    fillings leads to cracks in teeth. Because of the
    mercury content, they are also toxic. That is why
    some dentists do not recommend them to patients
    anymore.
  • Plastic and glass particles are components of
    white fillings which are safer and healthier.
    They restore the original strength of the tooth
    as they cure easily.
  • A few nuggets about composites
  • They are quite pricey and are more difficult to
    place than amalgam
  • Although they have a high longevity, they do not
    compare to that of meta fillings
  • Flossing and brushing are maintenance practices
    of composites
  • Composites are prone to stains. Examples are
    alcoholic drinks, coffee, tea, colored mouthwash,
    and more.
  • Crowns are good substitutes for composites in the
    event of tooth decay.
