White Tooth Fillings
At Bay of Isles Dental Clinic, we understand that various factors can lead to tooth, gum, or mouth pain and discomfort. To address your specific concerns effectively, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment with our experienced dentists for a comprehensive assessment of your dental health. While there can be multiple reasons for toothache and discomfort, tooth decay is often the primary cause. Let our skilled team identify the underlying issues and provide you with personalized care to alleviate your discomfort and maintain your dental well-being.
Tooth Decay: The Culprit Behind Toothache!
Tooth decay occurs when the sugars in food and drinks are transformed into acids by mouth bacteria. These acids create small holes in our enamel, gradually penetrating deeper into our teeth. Maintaining excellent at-home dental care is crucial, and visiting Bay of Isles Dental Clinic for your regular six-month check-up ensures you effectively remove plaque and bacteria from your teeth.
Tooth Fillings:
When decay develops, receiving a filling becomes necessary to halt its progression and restore the strength of your original tooth. If left untreated, decay can lead to structural issues like an uneven bite or damage to neighboring teeth.
Our tooth filling procedure is simple and effective. We use specialized tools to remove the decayed area of the tooth, thoroughly clean the region, and flush out any bacteria. The resulting hole is filled with a safe, tooth-colored material made from composite resin. Most cases are pain-free, and there is minimal downtime afterward.
At Bay of Isles Dental Clinic, we utilize the latest technology for tooth restoration, offering fillings that are stronger, more natural in appearance, and safer than traditional amalgam fillings containing mercury.
How do I know if I need a filling?
During your appointment at Bay of Isles Dental Clinic, we conduct a comprehensive assessment of all your teeth for possible cavities or signs of decay. We use X-rays and dental tools to evaluate each individual tooth thoroughly.
While pain can be an indicator of the need for a filling, early stages of decay may not cause discomfort. Regular dental check-ups are essential as we can identify signs of decay even before you experience any pain.
Tooth Sealants:
Children’s teeth are particularly vulnerable to decay due to softer and more porous enamel. To protect their teeth, we sometimes apply sealants over hard-to-reach dips in their molars. These sealants effectively seal the grooves, making cleaning easier and reducing the risk of decay. By maintaining proper oral hygiene, the likelihood of decay decreases, ensuring children’s teeth remain healthy and cavity-free. At Bay of Isles Dental Clinic, we prioritize preventive measures to safeguard your family’s dental health.
