Dental fillings are employed to repair structural damage to one or more teeth,
which can result from factors such as tooth decay, wear, or trauma. Following the
removal of the compromised tooth structure, the dentist restores it using one of
several filling materials: gold, amalgam, composite resin (white filling material), or
porcelain. Each filling material possesses its own set of advantages and
disadvantages. Your dentist will collaborate with you to specify the most suitable
material for your specific needs.
After a dental filling,temporary tingling or pain may occur while chewing,
especially with hot or cold foods.Allergic reactions to filling materials can manifest
as itching or rashes.There’s a slight risk of nerve damage during the procedure
and a small chance of infection at the injection or filling site,emphasizing the
importance of post treatment vigilance.
