As summer changes to autumn and our diets change from cold to hot, we need to be aware of the effects it has on our teeth. If you are experiencing sensitivity to certain foods, having sharp toothaches, or having difficulty eating due to an excessive amount of pain, it may be time to make a dental appointment because you may need fillings. The following symptoms indicate that dental fillings are needed to treat your teeth effectively:
Fillings are absolutely necessary in order to prevent further tooth decay from occurring. The consequences of not receiving dental fillings can result in permanent tooth decay and the loss of teeth. With the help of fillings, you can be sure that each tooth is healthy and less prone to infections. In order to guarantee your teeth are in top shape, regular dental appointments are necessary in order to avoid any dental issues that can arise in your future.
After your dentist finds a cavity at your dental appointment, you will probably undergo a filling treatment to prevent any further damage to your teeth as well as to fix up the space in which that cavity already damaged your teeth. Your dental filling treatment is done under a local anesthetic, and once that anesthesia wears off, your teeth will be incredibly sensitive for the time being. Here are some food tips to follow after your filling.
