What Is a Tooth Filling?

Tooth fillings are perhaps the simplest of all restorative dental procedures. They involve removing tooth decay and filling the area with different metals and metal alloys known as dental amalgam. The amalgam protects the exposed tooth and prevents any further decay in the area where the cavity once was. The procedure is generally quick, easy, and painless.

How to Know When You Need a Filling

There are a few different signs that you’re going to need a tooth filling. Below are the most common among them.

  • Dark spots on your teeth
  • Chipped or broken teeth
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Sharp or throbbing tooth pain
  • Damaged filling

Also, you may need a filling if you notice that floss breaks in the same area or tooth every time you floss.
