DENTAL FILLINGS
• Dental fillings are used to repair worn, decayed or damaged teeth.
• A healthy diet and regular tooth brushing can prevent tooth decay and the need for dental fillings, along with regular dental checkups.
Types of filling material include;
• Dental Amalgam ( also known as Silver)
• Composite Resin ( also known as Tooth coloured fillings)
• Glass Ionomer cement
• Gold ( rarely used)
• Porcelain
Some types of material may be better than others, so discuss your options with your dentist.
