He can also advise how best to look after you dental filling after it has been placed in the tooth, as well as let you know of any other procedures that will benefit your oral hygiene. Why Are Dental Fillings Needed? Almost everyone knows someone with a dental filling, but many people don’t know exactly why they are necessary. The fact is, bacteria live in your mouth and they produce acid – known as plaque – which erodes away at the teeth and causes holes if you don’t brush it away. As this erosion continues, holes form in the teeth and these can become very painful, if they aren’t dealt with as soon as possible by a professional dentist. What is a Dental Filling Procedure? Getting dental fillings isn’t as straight-forward as many people think – it isn’t simply a case of filling the hole and then leaving it. Instead, Dr. Hernandez will first sedate you, using the highly effective Conscious Oral Sedation technique, before then ensuring that the hole in the tooth is completely cleaned and clear of any harmful bacteria. Once the cleaning of the area has been completed, the filling can be placed into the hole, which will therefore stop the pain that the patient has been suffering from. You will be able to choose the type of dental fillings you get, although Dr. Hernandez will be on hand to ensure that you have all the facts before you make this decision.
