Cavities cause your tooth to weaken and become soft. Getting a filling is the process of removing any unhealthy tooth and then restoring the tooth so it can function properly and pain-free. At the beginning of the procedure you will get some local anesthesia to numb the area. When the area is numb any decayed tooth will be removed and the area will be cleaned and prepared for the filling material. Once the filling material is placed and shaped to mimic your natural tooth shape it will be cured (hardened) with a bright light. Your new filling will then be polished and once the numbness wears off you are ready to go on with your normal eating and drinking routine.
