Do you struggle with pain in one or more of your teeth? If so, this could be related to tooth decay and treatment could be crucial for avoiding infection and worsening discomfort! In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about stopping toothaches with a dental filling.
The Causes of Toothaches
Why does your tooth hurt? A temporary toothache could occur due to changes in elevation, such as riding in an airplane or visiting a more mountainous region. Sinus or allergy issues could also cause aches in your teeth. But these are short-lived and pass after a few hours. If you have pain that persists for more than a day or two, then you could have a cavity. Once your tooth hurts, this likely means the decay is in a more advanced stage and the risk of infection is much higher. You need to see our team right away!
The Dangers of Tooth Decay
Tooth decay will grow and spread with time, eventually reaching the inner pulp to cause your tooth to become infected. At this point, you need a root canal or possibly extraction to prevent the spread of decay. Which is why we want to treat your teeth at the first signs of trouble, so we can keep your smile whole and spare you unnecessary discomfort. With a dental filling, we can treat cavities in one visit to keep your smile comfortable and intact!
Our Dental Fillings
Instead of metal, we will use a composite resin that is safe for all ages. This material is biocompatible and bonds with your tooth so your restorations can stay intact for much longer. The material can also be color matched to blend with the tooth and your smile as a whole, so you have a more lifelike appearance. Placement only takes one visit too, so you leave our office with a restored tooth and a comfortable smile. The same material can also be used in our cosmetic dental bonding procedure to mask imperfections with the shape and color of your smile, and to repair minor damage.
If you have any questions about our composite resin fillings, then contact our team today to learn more.
