Need to Know: Dental Fillings
Fillings don’t last forever. It’s possible for bacteria to enter damaged fillings and for cavities to form underneath.
Main points:
– Fillings wear and will need replacing over the years.
– Large cavities may require a dental crown rather than a filling.
– Chewing on hard, sticky foods or ice can damage fillings.
Damaged fillings should be treated by a dentist as soon as possible, so it’s important to have regular dental examinations of your teeth.
“… your dentist can tell you if your fillings are in good shape, if they need repair, or if you have decay underneath.”
