What Are Dental Fillings?
Dental fillings are a common treatment for anyone who already has a cavity or tooth damage caused by decay. Fillings are designed to repair minor cavities by restoring the tooth's structure and protecting it from further damage. Modern fillings, made from durable materials like porcelain or composite resin, are long-lasting and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. By restoring both strength and function, fillings help maintain your oral health while preventing future decay.
Signs You Need a Filling
Toothaches or ongoing pain
Sensitivity to hot or cold foods and drinks
Visible holes or pits in the tooth
White or discoloured spots near the gumline
Sometimes, cavities develop silently without causing any symptoms at all. That’s why routine dental checkups are so important—your dentist can catch early decay and treat it with a simple filling before it turns into a bigger problem.
What Are Sealants?
Sealants, on the other hand, are most commonly recommended for children and teens whose newly erupted molars are especially vulnerable to cavities. However, they can also benefit adults with deep grooves in their back teeth, where food and plaque tend to accumulate. Acting as a protective barrier, sealants block decay before it even begins.
