What are dental fillings made of?

Dental fillings are made from various materials including composite resin, amalgam (metal), gold, and porcelain, each with different advantages.

How do I know if I need a dental filling?

If you have a cavity or a cracked tooth, your dentist may recommend a filling. Symptoms include tooth pain, sensitivity, or visible damage to your teeth.

How long do dental fillings last?

The longevity of dental fillings depends on the material used and oral care habits. Generally, fillings last 5–15 years before needing replacement.

Are dental fillings safe?

Yes, dental fillings are safe. They are made from biocompatible materials and are designed to restore tooth function while preventing further decay.

Can fillings prevent cavities?

Fillings help restore teeth damaged by cavities, but they do not prevent new cavities. Regular brushing, flossing, and checkups are necessary for prevention.

How do I know if I have a cavity?

Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweets is a common sign — but only an X-ray can confirm it.

Does getting a filling hurt?

With local anesthesia, you'll feel pressure but not pain.

How long do tooth fillings last?

Composite fillings last 7–10 years, amalgam can last even longer.

What happens if I leave a cavity untreated?

It grows deeper, reaches the nerve, and what could've been a filling becomes a root canal.

Are white fillings as strong as silver ones?

They're strong enough for most teeth and look completely natural.

Can a filling fall out?

Yes, especially older ones — if it does, see your dentist as soon as possible.
