Tooth Fillings Warner

The tooth filling procedure only takes one appointment. While your tooth is numb, the dentist will remove the decay as needed. The cleaned space is then thoroughly cleaned and prepared before the new filling is placed.

If the decay was close to the tooth’s nerve, your dentist will apply a special medication for added protection. A white filling will be then accurately placed in your tooth, shaped and polished. The filling restores your tooth to its original shape and function.

Tooth sensitivity is normally experienced following the treatment, especially when you consume hot or cold foods. But this will subside as your tooth acclimates to its filling.

Your Warner dentist will provide care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Tooth fillings can last for many years if you have good Oral Hygiene practices, healthy lifestyle, good eating habits, and regular dental visits.
