Before

What are Dental Fillings?

A dental filling is a safe and effective restorative treatment used to repair teeth damaged by decay or fractures. The process involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth, cleaning the affected area, and filling the space with a biocompatible material. This restores the structural integrity of your tooth and prevents further bacterial infection.

After

Key Signs You Might Need a Tooth Filling:

Persistent tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
Sharp or throbbing pain while biting down or chewing.
Visible dark spots, holes, or pits on your teeth.
Food constantly getting trapped between specific teeth.
A rough or fractured edge on an old dental restoration

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How long do dental fillings last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular professional check-ups, composite fillings generally last between 5 to 10 years, while other materials can last even longer.

Does getting a tooth filling hurt?

Not at all. At Gegocare, we use effective local anesthetics to completely numb the treatment area. You may feel a bit of pressure during the procedure, but it is entirely painless.

Can I eat immediately after a tooth filling?

If you receive a composite (tooth-colored) filling, it is fully cured and hardened by our specialized light during the appointment, meaning you can eat immediately after the numbness wears off. We advise avoiding extremely hot or cold foods for the first 24 hours if you experience mild post-procedure sensitivity.

How do I prevent cavities in the future?

As passionate educators on dental health, we recommend lifestyle adjustments alongside your treatment. Brush your teeth at least twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, reduce your consumption of sugary foods, and visit us every six months for a routine consultation and cleaning.
