When to undergo Dental Filling Treatment?

Tooth Filling Procedure

The Dental Filling procedure is simple, unlike other dental procedures.

  1. An oral examination is the first step. The teeth specialist will check the health of the teeth and will see the intensity of the decay or the injury. This will help to decide the structure of the teeth filling.
  2. If the dental filling isn’t appropriate, some other procedure might be suggested. If it is suitable, the procedure will happen on the same day.
  3. Drilling is required in this thus, firstly, local anesthesia will be given for numbing the dentine and the gums.
  4. Once the anesthetic effect begins, the next step is to drill the one to remove (if) the decay present. The tool used to carry out drilling could be a Driller (Dental Handpiece), Laser, or Process of Air Abrasion.
  5. Any amount of infected tissue will be cleaned thoroughly. After taking out all the rot, the doctor will assure that there remains no unwanted debris. Sterilization of the area will happen too.
  6. After this, the resin will be filled into the hole. Since resins are soft, they will easily be molded to give the teeth shape. Later, it will be sealed along with removing the excess stuck onto the teeth.
  7. The filling will be hardened using a dental curing light which will be kept over the surface for a few seconds.
  8. The setting is quick. The bite will be checked if it is proper or not. The changes will be made accordingly to restore the normal functioning of the teeth.
