Understanding the Composite Fillings in Okatie, SC Process

Composite fillings are chemically bonded to teeth. This is the reason why numbing the area where composite fillings will be placed is not always necessary. Putting anesthetic is just required if tooth decay has progressed beneath the enamel layer and into the underlying dentin layer which surrounds the nerve of the tooth. Once decay is removed, the tooth is cleaned and a primer (weak acid) is applied to the area being restored.

Necessary adjustments will be made by your dentists if your tooth filling extends into the space between your teeth. Your dentist will ensure that you can always floss your teeth properly.

Meanwhile, Off-Island Dental care believes that prevention is still the best medicine. With that, 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

Hole, fracture or cavity in your teeth will surely need immediate attention. If not addressed, this can result in so much pain and more severe problems such as bone loss.

Composite Fillings make sure you take care of any of these problems now to prevent pain and further treatment.
