dental filling

There is no perfect substitute for natural teeth healthy. Decayed teeth require treatment with a filling (fillings) or other restoration depending on the severity of caries. The filling may last many years before it has to be replaced, but the seals are exposed to constant pressure from chewing. Clenching or grinding teeth also puts tremendous force on fillings and tooth enamel. All this can make the seals are wear, chipping, crack or fall.
