When Do You Need a Tooth Filling?

Tooth fillings are essential for maintaining dental health and preventing further decay. Ignoring the signs of tooth decay can lead to more severe dental problems. You might need a filling if you experience:

  • Toothache or Sensitivity: Persistent pain or discomfort, especially when consuming hot or cold foods, can indicate a cavity that needs attention.
  • Visible Holes or Dark Spots on Your Teeth: These are clear indicators of decay and should be examined by a dentist as soon as possible.
  • Broken or Chipped Teeth: Damage to the enamel can expose the inner layers of the tooth to bacteria, leading to decay.
  • Pain When Eating or Drinking: If you experience sharp pain or discomfort while chewing or drinking, it could be a sign of a cavity or other dental issue.

The Filling Process

Getting a filling at Stehl Family Dental is straightforward and comfortable:

1. Examination & Diagnosis

Our experienced dental team thoroughly assesses your tooth to determine the extent of decay and decide the best treatment approach.

2. Anesthesia

To ensure a pain-free procedure, we administer local anesthesia carefully, making sure you are completely numb before moving forward.

3. Decay Removal

With precision and care, we remove the decayed portion of the tooth, ensuring all affected areas are addressed and healthy tooth structure is preserved.

4. Filling Placement

The selected filling material is carefully applied and shaped to restore the tooth’s original form and function effectively.

5. Polishing

Finally, we polish the filling to seamlessly match your natural tooth’s texture and appearance, ensuring a smooth, comfortable finish and optimal aesthetics.

Aftercare Tips

Proper care after getting a dental filling is crucial to ensure long-lasting results and maintain your oral health. Here are some detailed tips to follow:

  • Avoid Eating Hard Foods for a Day: To allow the filling to properly set, steer clear of hard or sticky foods that could dislodge or damage the filling.
  • Brush and Floss Regularly: Maintain your routine of brushing at least twice a day and flossing daily. This helps to prevent plaque buildup around the filling.
  • Schedule Regular Dental Check-ups: Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. This allows your dentist to monitor the condition of the filling.
