Tooth For Keeps

Almost everyone develops a cavity requiring a dental filling eventually. Despite how common they are, some people may not know much about the options available

🦷Composite Dental Fillings🦷

Composite fillings are effective for repairing chipped or cracked teeth because they blend in with your tooth, giving you a natural look.

❗Reasons for composite fillings:

✅ Chipped teeth

✅ Closing space between two teeth

✅ Cracked or broken teeth

✅ Decayed teeth

✅ Worn teeth

✔ The Benefits of Composite

🦷 Composite fillings blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually invisible.

🦷 The material is slightly flexible resulting in reduced drilling, and preserving more of your natural tooth.

🦷 The resin material in composite fillings creates a strong bond to your tooth.

🦷 They are durable and can withstand moderate pressure and usage.

🦷 They are well-suited to small fillings and repairs.

🦷 Composite can also be used to handle other cosmetic alterations, such as changing the colour or shape of your teeth.

Composite fillings are usually placed in one appointment. The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared before the new filling is placed. If the decay was near the nerve of the tooth, a special medication will be applied for added protection. The composite filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function.

It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly after your tooth acclimates to the new filling.
You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.

Oral Prophylaxis

A procedure done for the teeth cleaning. It removes tartar and plaque build-up from the surfaces of the teeth as well as those hidden in between and under the gums. The dentist uses a scaler, a type of hand instrument, to remove the plaque and tartar.

Why should you undergo Oral Prophylaxis?

Sometimes, even after brushing our teeth, we can still feel rough areas that cannot be removed even with another rigorous round of brushing or even after fiddling with a toothpick. These rough areas on the tooth surfaces can be plaque or tartar. If plaque or tartar is left on the teeth, it can provide an environment for bacteria to thrive due to its resilient nature. The bacteria in the plaque can cause serious inflammation and irritation to the gums, therefore making the gums more reddish than normal and bleeding can also be observed. These signs point to the early stage of gum disease called.

How often do I need to have an Oral Prophylaxis?

Oral prophylaxis is recommended to be done twice a year as a preventive measure, but should be performed every 3-4 months for patients with more severe periodontal disease. For patients who have braces or other orthodontic appliances, oral prophylaxis is recommended to be done more frequently. Oral prophylaxis is applicable for all ages to help fight tooth decay and gum disease. It is important to keep the oral cavity healthy thus daily oral hygiene practices, like tooth brushing and flossing, should still be done. Regular visits to your dentist can also help you maintain a good oral health.
