How Composite Fillings in Hilton Head, SC Works
Composite fillings are chemically bonded to teeth. This is the reason why numbing (anesthetizing) the area is necessary when removing the tooth decay. Once decay is removed, the tooth is cleaned and a primer (weak acid) is applied to the area. The primer opens pores in the enamel and dentin.
If the tooth filling extends into the space between your teeth, the dentist will also make sure you can floss between your teeth properly.
Adjustments will be made if necessary followed by smoothing and polishing of your new filling.
Prevention is the best medicine. You can dramatically decrease your risk of cavities and other dental diseases simply by:
⦁ Brushing your teeth twice a day
⦁ Flossing daily
⦁ Cleaning your tongue daily
⦁ Eating a balanced diet
⦁ Visiting the dentist regularly
Make sure you take care of your teeth to prevent pain and further treatment.
