Dental Fillings

When you get a cavity the dentist treats the cavity by first drilling a hole and then placing the filling.

In some cases, when the hole is too big (or the dentist too greedy) then the conventional dentist suggests other more serious treatments:

• Dental Crowns - which are for more damaged teeth.
• Root Canals - teeth diagnosed as having nerve damage are usually prescribed root canals.
• Dental Implants - placed after a tooth is extracted due to irreparable damage.

The Dental Filling Procedure

1. The tooth decay is located through x-rays and use of the dental probe.
2. The decay is removed with a drill.
3. The inside of the tooth is prepared for a filling.
4. The filling material is placed.

Types of Dental Filling Materials

Today there are over 2,000 dental materials available. Here are some of the most common ones used.

• Gold Alloys (there is no 100% gold filling)
• Amalgam (Mercury Fillings)
• Tooth Colored Composite Fillings
• Ceramic Fillings
• Glass Isomer Fillings
