Ah, dental cavities and tooth fillings! Nobody likes a trip to the dentist but unfortunately these two are often part of a visit. A cavity is a hole that develops when plaque – the sticky film of bacteria – causes the enamel to erode away. It can be quite painful – ouch! – and left untreated can lead to more serious problems so it’s important to get them filled.

Fillings are used to repair these holes or any other damage that affects the structure of your teeth. They come in a variety of materials, but generally ceramic due to its strength and color matching with those around it. The type depends largely on the size, location and severity of the decay area.

They will first use a drill to remove the decayed parts – they may give you a local anesthetic if you’re feeling anxious – and then the filling will be placed in the hole. It will then be carefully shaped and polished to match your existing color.

So, if you feel like something’s wrong with one of your teeth, don’t let it drag on – make an appointment any issues you may have as soon as you can to get it sorted. Taking care of your oral health is always a good idea and while dental cavities may not be the most exciting thing in the world, they are an important part of that process. Let’s make sure we take our tooth-care seriously!

That being said, don’t forget to look after  them he first place. Brush twice a day, floss once a day and visit your dental office regularly for check-ups – it’s as simple as that! And remember: prevention is better than cure so let’s try to keep those cavities away.
