Cavity Filling
What is Cavity Filling or Dental Filling treatment?
As the decay progresses from white spot to penetration in the enamel, a cavity is formed. The focus of treatment shifts from prevention to restoration at this stage. If the cavity has not reached the pulp, healing means cleaning out the area and filling the cavity.Your dentist has a wide array of dental filling material to choose from depending on the extent of the cavity and your needs and economy. Traditionally, silver amalgam filling was mostly used as a restorative agent, but advent of research and technology, newer and aesthetically pleasing materials like composites, dental cements are now available.
