Patients with toothaches have nothing to fear at Ardas Family Dental. We provide fillings that are high-quality and made to blend in with the patient’s tooth color, ensuring that the aesthetic value of their smile will be restored along with their health. Nevertheless, we do need our patients to inform us if they are experiencing any problems in the area near a filling so we may correct it before it fails.
Removing infected material is crucial for a tooth’s long-term comfort, but a tooth will probably be sensitive for a few days after the material is removed. This discomfort should not last more than two days. If it does, the filling may have shrunk and not be sufficient to make up for the lost material. If the filling is preventing the patient from fully clothing their teeth together, there is definitely a problem, which can be fixed by contouring the filling more closely.
Fillings usually last for about ten years. The bonding which holds them in place breaks down over time, and after about ten years, there is a risk that bacteria will be able to enter the cracks and resume causing decay. Patients can prevent this from happening by maintaining regular check-ups. If an old filling does start to hurt or can be felt coming loose, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
