A filling helps to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape, and helps prevent further decay by eliminating areas where bacteria can enter the tooth. Our dentist will consider a number of factors when choosing which type of filling material suit the best for you; this includes the extent of the repair, whether you have allergies to certain dental materials, where in your mouth the filling is needed. Some of the methods used to determine the tooth decay include observation probing with metal instrument to check if tooth decay is taking place and finally x-rays. To further see how it takes place you can watch videos which were done to previous patients in our channel.
