Can I Get Cavities Underneath Fillings?

28th August 2018 by Sam

Although a filling is fitted to treat a cavity, it doesn’t mean another cavity won’t form underneath the filling:

– If a filling gets damaged. bacteria can enter the tooth resulting in a new cavity forming.

– Fillings can get damaged by teeth grinding, chewing ice or just normal wear-and-tear over time.

– Seeing your dentist for regular check-ups can ensure any damage is spotted.

“These fillings are best evaluated by a professional, and your dentist can tell you if your fillings are in good shape, if they need repair, or if you have decay underneath.”

27th August 201823rd August 2018 by Sam

Untreated decay tends to worsen and leads to more severe problems. Toothache alerts us that we need to see the dentist promptly.

Causes of tooth pain:

– Infections happen when bacteria get inside teeth and their roots, usually due to decay or trauma.

– Sensitive teeth result from over-brushing and, consequently, damaged tooth enamel.

– Stressful grinding of the teeth may also cause toothache. Known as bruxism, the habit typically occurs during sleep.

Addressing toothache as quickly as possible is always a good idea in case you need treatment to save the tooth.
