A dental filling is a restorative procedure that involves adding a protective substance into a tooth cavity to shield it against further structural damage and avoid the need for\u00a0<\/span>tooth extraction<\/span><\/a>\u00a0later on.<\/span><\/p>

As cavities (caries) form in the tooth, the tooth becomes more sensitive to heat and cold. The presence of cavity also creates more areas in the mouth where the bacteria can thrive, causing more damage until they reach the gums and roots of the tooth.<\/span><\/p>

Before this happens and the tooth becomes unsalvageable, fillings are used.<\/span><\/p>

There are many different types of dental fillings which can be permanent, indirect, and temporary. Dental fillings may be combined with other restorative procedures such as bridges, as well as endodontic treatment also known as\u00a0<\/span>root canal<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
