See What Makes Our Tooth Fillings So Good
In general, tooth fillings are needed because either a tooth is broken down from bacteria, or a tooth is broken down just from a mechanical break. Either way, when we go in, we’re removing any type of bacteria that may have attached itself to the tooth, cleaning that tooth up, and then providing a filling that’s going to bring that tooth back to form and shape so that we can have the function. But it also eliminates the bacteria that was sitting within inside that tooth, improving the patient’s oral health.
