Why do you need a dental filling?

When a tooth is damaged, it should be filled as soon as possible. As the saying goes, if you don't fill a small hole, you will suffer from a big hole. If you don't fill a tooth in time, it will often cause other teeth to be affected and cause other teeth to become loose, which will often lead to a chain reaction. The consequences for dental health are very serious, and the impact on appearance is also relatively large. Therefore, when a tooth is missing, it is necessary to fill it in time.

Why do you need a dental filling?

If you suffer from tooth decay (caries), you should repair them as early as possible, because repaired cavities can prevent the development of caries lesions, restore the function of the teeth early, and maintain the integrity of the dentition.

If not treated promptly, the lesions will become larger and larger, developing from shallow caries to deep caries, and the teeth will be sensitive to food stimuli such as hot, cold, sour and sweet. When the damage reaches the pulp, it will cause pulpitis, and the toothache will be very severe. When the lesions develop further, it will cause apical periodontitis, periapical abscess, and even mandibular osteomyelitis, resulting in tooth loss. Tooth decay and loss will affect chewing, increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and thus affect physical health.

What are the serious consequences of not filling your teeth in time?

1. Teeth themselves do not have the ability to repair themselves. When teeth are damaged due to dental disease or trauma, they can only be filled!

2. If a tooth is damaged and not filled in time, the pulp cavity will be exposed, inducing pulp disease. Filling a tooth can prevent the further development of the lesion, restore the health of the affected tooth, and prevent the occurrence of pulpitis and periapical diseases.

3. When teeth are decayed, the benefits of filling them early are that the patient will experience spontaneous, paroxysmal pain, and the affected teeth will be extremely sensitive to cold or hot stimuli, seriously affecting the patient's daily life and diet. Filling can stop the further development of caries, eliminate the pain symptoms caused by caries, and relieve the patient's suffering.

4. The shape and color of teeth will directly affect the beauty of the face, especially the missing front teeth. Filling can restore the natural shape and beauty of the teeth and eliminate people’s inferiority complex caused by missing teeth.

5. Teeth that have undergone filling treatment can be preserved intact, preventing premature tooth loss, maintaining the integrity of the dentition, avoiding tooth extraction and the need for dentures, saving patients a lot of money.

What are the benefits of dental fillings?

1. Tooth filling can effectively prevent the further development of tooth decay, relieve the pain of various periodontal diseases caused by tooth decay, and prevent tooth loss;

2. Tooth filling can effectively restore the chewing function of teeth. Tooth decay causes toothache, gum inflammation, and food stuck in teeth, which seriously affects the chewing function of the teeth. Timely filling can effectively protect teeth and prevent tooth loss.

3. Restore the natural shape of teeth. The color and shape of teeth directly affect the beauty of the face, especially the shape of front teeth plays a vital role in people's psychology and emotions.
