What is Dental Filling?

A dental filling is a treatment used to repair teeth affected by decay. The process involves removing the damaged portion of the tooth and filling it with a material such as composite resin. This restores the tooth’s natural shape and function while sealing the cavity to prevent further decay.

Why Do You Need a Dental Filling?

Cavities develop when sugars in food and drink react with bacteria in plaque, forming acids that attack your tooth’s enamel and dentine. Over time, this leads to dental decay, creating cavities that need to be treated with a dental filling.

Without treatment, cavities can:

• Cause tooth sensitivity or pain.

• Lead to infections or damage to the tooth’s nerves.

• Require other procedures like root canals or tooth extractions.
  

Addressing cavities early with a dental filling can help you maintain your oral health.

If you are concerned about treatment expenses, you can learn more about the dental filling cost in Singapore and the factors that may affect pricing.
