Dental cavities are a universal occurrence. A
simple painless treatment for dental cavities is Dental Filling.
Dental fillings are replacements of the tooth
structure lost to dental decay. The procedure involved is simple –the decayed
portion of the tooth is simply excavated or removed using hand or rotary tool.
The cavity is shaped to retain the filling material and filled.
Today there is also a choice of the material
to be used. Previously silver and gold fillings were popular. While gold
fillings have been discontinued due to the cost, silver fillings are a
potential environmental and health hazard due to the presence of mercury in
them. Even the old silver fillings should be changed because anytime something
hot is eaten or drinker, mercury vapors leach out of the restoration.
Today the material of choice for dental
fillings is composites (Tooth colored fillings). Not only these materials are
available in various shades to match the tooth color they also contain
fluorides which has an anti cavity action. These fillings are bonded to the
tooth using a special adhesive. An important advantage is that they are
immediate setting fillings so eating and drinking precautions are no longer
needed after the procedure.
If you too need dental fillings, Dr. Garg’sDental Centre in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi is the place to be. Though it seems
simple and easy, proper experience and expertise is needed to make a successful
and a lost lasting filling. Keeping health and environmental concerns we no
longer offer silver fillings as part of our practice.
