Fillings
The most common reason for a caries is poor oral hygiene. A patient can get a caries at any age. If a patient leaves it untreated, it can progress and it will lead to complications such as pulpitis, periodontitis and even abscess. It’s very crucial that caries is found right in time and treated immediately. It’s harder and more expensive to treat a caries at the late stage of the disease.
The treatment of a caries includes the placing of a filling. Thanks to the new materials used in the modern dental medicine, we are able to conclude the treatment during one visit.
Types of fillings
WHITE FILLINGS (composite fillings) are the most desired fillings by patients. Their color is the closest to the natural color of the teeth. In most of the cases they are the right choice to restore a tooth damage. However there are some disadvantages.
BLACK FILLINGS – There is a wrong impression among the society that black fillings are not good, even harmful and dangerous. That is not true and even a false accusation. Dentists recommend black fillings when white fillings are useless for the patient. Dentists place them mainly on molars when the use of a white filling can damage a tooth.
