COMPOSITE DENTAL FILLINGS
FOR CAVITY REPAIR
I
f dental erosion has occurred to
your smile to the point that a hole
is formed in your tooth enamel, a
cavity will arise. Fortunately, cavities can be treated metal fillings in the mouth over time, as teeth pound together
while chewing, can cause unwanted fractures and breaks. The
breakdown of these types of fillings can allow the mercury to leak
into your system.
To prevent a dental filling from being necessary, it is important
to brush your teeth twice a day, floss daily, eat a balanced diet
and visit the dentist regularly. However, if a cavity does arise it’s
important to visit your dentist for a composite filling, also known
as a tooth-colored filling. At Complete Dental Care, we care about your smile. Therefore
we never use amalgam-based fillings, for optimal overall health
and a more beautiful smile. Please feel free to visit the office to
learn more about how composite fillings can help you!
with the help of composite dental fillings designed to eradicate
the decay and restore the health of the tooth once more.
For optimal overall health, consider removing your amalgam
fillings to have a beautiful smile inside and out and a metal-free
mouth!
Composite fillings are highly
effective because they can last
up to a decade of use. They are
mercury-free, they’re amazingly
proficient, they can blend in
with your natural smile, and are
great for fixing small cavities.
Other treatments such as dental
amalgams can also be used to fill
in cavities, but they do contain
mercury and leave behind a
possibly unsightly metallic shine.
The metal-like filling over time
can also cause “blue decay” or
leak into the tooth, necessitating
further treatment. Keeping
