for teeth if you have a bad cavity or if you are missing some of your tooth
False teeth can't get cavities, so they don't need fillings.
Getting a filling on a wobbly tooth can seem like a quick fix, but it may not be the most effective solution in the long run. A wobbly tooth often signals underlying issues, such as gum disease or tooth decay, which might need more than just a filling. If you place a filling on a loose tooth, it may not adhere properly, as the tooth’s structure may be compromised. This can lead to the filling loosening or falling out over time. Additionally, the filling may not address the root cause of the looseness, like infection or weakening of the tooth’s foundation. In such cases, your dentist may recommend other treatments, such as a crown or even tooth extraction if necessary. At Elite Body Home, we provide expert dental care to assess the health of your teeth and offer solutions tailored to your needs, ensuring optimal oral health and longevity.
Sometimes, if a filling is very deep and close to the nerve, a regular filling may not work. It sounds as though you will need a root canal. Find out more at: Thornhill Dentist http://www.bcdentalcare.ca
it is most likely the tooth had a small crack in it anyway. the tooth was alittle"high"from the new filling and the extra pressure from biting on it, cracked the tooth. usually after a new filling, you should go back to have the filling polished which strengthens the filling and adjusts the bite.
Ache (mistake, toothache)
needs to be smoothed.
To treat a cavity or cracked tooth a filling is used to fill the area of the tooth where the decayed material was removed or where the tooth is cracked. There are several filling materials available including gold, porcelain, silver amalgam, plastic, and resin.
Depending on how much of the tooth is broken, you might need a crown, a veneer or a simple filling. In Canada, a crown costs about $1200, where a filling is around $300. Not sure in Jamaican dollars.
No. There is very little mercury in a filling. A white filling will have more shrinkage with time which will cause them to need to be replaced, long before a silver filling. But you should get the tooth fixed right away.
No you can't. You can only get rid of a cavity if you lose the tooth.
Cavities need to be filled to prevent further decay and damage to the tooth. If left untreated, cavities can lead to infection and eventual tooth loss. Filling a cavity helps restore the tooth's structure and function.
