When small amounts of decay occur on the tooth, it wears away causing holes or dents in the teeth. Dentists call these holes cavities. These cavities can be places where food gets caught and then cause further decay. Fillings are designed to fill the holes in teeth so that further decay will not happen.
In times past this was done using metal which was easily moulded and was long lasting.
The older metallic fillings typically last around 15 years. Tooth coloured fillings last approx 10years but in some cases can last longer.
You may experience sensitivity to hot and cold following placement of the material, however, this will subside as the tooth heals and becomes accustomed to the filling.
Fillings are used to restore a tooth back to its regular function and shape caused by carries in the tooth (decay) or from trauma to the tooth such as a trip or fall.
