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.
