DENTAL FILLING
Dental filling is a treatment modality to restore missing tooth structure, which could have been a result of decay or trauma. Decay makes teeth hollow. Dental fillings help to fill this gap and protect it from further decay. A filling is also used to repair broken or cracked teeth and the teeth that wear off due to dental habits like teeth grinding, nail biting, etc.
POST TREATMENT CARE FOR DENTAL FILLING
