Understanding Dental Fillings: Types, Procedures, and Aftercare

Understanding Dental Fillings: Types, Procedures, and Aftercare

Dental fillings are a common solution for treating cavities and restoring damaged teeth. At Holman Family Dentistry, we strive to educate our patients on the types of dental fillings, the procedure, and proper aftercare to ensure long-lasting results.

Types of Dental Fillings
There are several types of dental fillings available, each with unique benefits:

The Procedure
The dental filling procedure is simple and typically completed in one visit. First, the dentist removes the decayed portion of the tooth, cleans the area, and applies the filling material. The filling is shaped to fit your bite and then hardened using a special light.

Aftercare for Fillings
After receiving a filling, it’s normal to experience minor sensitivity. Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods immediately after the procedure. Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing twice a day and flossing daily. Regular dental check-ups at Holman Family Dentistry ensure your fillings remain intact and your teeth stay healthy.

By understanding the types, procedures, and aftercare for dental fillings, you can feel confident in maintaining a healthy, restored smile! Schedule your appointment at Holman Family Dentistry today for personalized care.
