TOOTH FILLING

FILLINGS ARE GENERALLY REQUIRED :

• To treat cavities
• To repair injured teeth that have chipped off
•  For teeth worn down due to misuse, nail-biting etc
•  Tooth damaged due to excessive force of toothbrushing
• Others

Teeth can be filled with white porcelain, composite resin or glass ionomer cement depending on the type and extent of damage. It is essentially a pain-free procedure, however, in some situations local anesthetic maybe required when the damage is deep.
