Filling teeth in Preston
|
Whenever you go to the dentist you may always have butterflies in your stomach and not exactly the good kind.
You're nervous about what could go wrong and whether or not you will have something done on your teeth. Hopefully, your teeth brushing and flossing is top-notch and there isn't a lot to be done on your teeth, but your local dentist in Preston finds a single tooth that unfortunately needs to be treated. The level of decay warrants drilling and filling. Fillings are used to repair a cavity that occurred in your tooth thanks to neglect and decay. If you're over 30 and you already had a filling procedure done you may remember that it was rather black or dark tinted. Chances are that was made out of dental amalgam and applied at the back of your mouth on molars, where you need durability. Some people are concerned about the alleged health risk of medical amalgam fillings and if you have some too, just have a conversation with your local dentist in Preston. Granted, that kind of filling has been in use for a long time and there are more innovative materials you may be more comfortable with. Nowadays there is a range of different materials for fillings, including tooth-coloured fillings which are obviously a lot more aesthetically pleasing. There are some more advanced filling types as well, including a glass ionomer kind which forms a chemical bond with your tooth and may even improve the fluoride shielding on it to prevent further decay. Dental fillings are some of the most straightforward dental procedures and you shouldn't be afraid of going to the dental office because of it. |
