What is a Dental Filling?
Dental fillings are restorative materials used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, cracks, or fractures. By filling the affected area, fillings restore the tooth’s strength, function, and appearance, preventing further decay and helping preserve the natural tooth for long-term oral health.
Fillings come in a variety of materials, each with its unique advantages. Amalgam fillings, made from a blend of metals, are durable, long-lasting, and cost-effective, though they may not blend with the natural color of your teeth. Composite resin fillings offer a more natural appearance, blending seamlessly with your teeth, but may not be as durable as amalgam. Ceramic and gold fillings provide exceptional durability and strength, making them great long-term options, but they tend to be more expensive.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dental cavities affect approximately 60-90% of school-age children and nearly 100% of adults worldwide. This highlights the widespread prevalence of dental decay, emphasizing the importance of preventive care and regular dental checkups to maintain oral health.
Signs That You May Have a Cavity
- Tooth Sensitivity: If you experience discomfort or pain when eating hot, cold, or sweet foods, it could indicate a cavity. This sensitivity occurs as the decay wears away the enamel, exposing the more sensitive layers of the tooth.
- Toothache: A persistent toothache or sharp pain when biting down can be a sign of a cavity. As decay spreads, it can reach the deeper layers of the tooth, causing pain.
- Visible Holes or Pits: If you notice small holes, pits, or dark spots on your teeth, it could be a sign of cavity formation. These areas are where decay has started to break down the tooth structure.
- Bad Breath or Unpleasant Taste: Persistent bad breath (halitosis) or a foul taste in your mouth can result from the bacteria associated with cavities.
- Staining or Discoloration: Dark or brown stains on your teeth, especially near the gumline or in areas where decay is present, can be a sign of cavities.
- Food Getting Stuck: If food tends to get trapped between your teeth, it may be due to a cavity creating a space that was not there before.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to visit your dentist for an exam and early intervention to prevent further damage.
