Regular Dentistry

Regular dentistry is one of the best ways to identify dental health problems early before they develop into more serious dental problems. Regular dentistry aims to improve patients' oral health and prevent further dental problems such as caries or oral cancer. Taking good care of your mouth, teeth, and gums is a worthy goal in and of itself. Good oral and dental hygiene can help prevent bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease—and can help you keep your teeth as you get older. Like other areas of the body, your mouth is filled with bacteria—mostly harmless. Your teeth are the gateway to your body, and your mouth is the entry point to your digestive and respiratory tracts. Some of these bacteria can cause disease.

Filling

A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned-out cavity with a filling material.

Which type of Filling is Best?

Many options are available for tooth fillings, and all of them have their pros and cons. Types of tooth fillings include

• (a) Gold fillings are made to order in a laboratory and then cemented into place.
• (b) Amalgam (silver) fillings are resistant to wear and relatively inexpensive.
• (c) Composite (plastic resins) are matched to be the same colour as your teeth and therefore used where a natural appearance is desired.
• (d) Porcelain fillings are called inlays or onlays and are produced to order in a lab and then bonded to the tooth.

How Should You Care Your Teeth With Fillings?

To maintain fillings, you should follow good oral hygiene—visiting your dentist regularly for cleanings, brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash at least once daily.
