Dental Filling is a treatment modality to restore missing tooth structure which could have been a result of decay or trauma. Decay makes tooth hollow. Dental Filling helps to fill this gap and protect it from further decay. A filling is also used to repair broken or cracked tooth and the teeth which wear off due to dental habits like teeth grinding, nail biting etc.
When the damage is limited to the surface of the tooth and has not reached the nerve or pulp of the tooth, Dental Fillings can be done.
There are various signs and symptoms where fillings can be required. The symptoms could be as:
If you come across any of the symptoms as mentioned above, then there is a chance that you need a filling.
