What requires a dental filling?
Cavities and tooth decay can happen no matter how diligent you are with brushing and flossing. If you’ve noticed tooth sensitivity when drinking or eating hot and cold foods or drinks, pain when eating or unsightly dark spots appearing, it may mean it’s time for a filling. Don’t wait for small cavities to turn into major tooth damage. Many people dismiss cavities because “they don’t hurt”. Small cavities will develop to larger cavities that can lead to:
- Weak teeth
- Broken teeth
- Sensitivity to hot and cold
- Embarrassing dark spots on front teeth
- Bad Breath due to old or broken fillings
- Unattractive silver dental fillings
