Cavity Care Made Easy
Cavities are a pain, but tooth fillings are a simple, easy solution.
At the Texarkana Care Clinic, our dentists clean out the cavity and replace it with a strong material like composite resin. This restores your tooth’s shape and stops the decay from spreading. Plus, modern dental fillings look so natural no one will even know they’re there.
Schedule an appointment at our Texarkana, AR, dentist office to take care of those cavities.
Common Types of Dental Fillings
Composite Resin Fillings
Composite resin fillings match the color of your natural teeth, making them a discrete choice. They are durable and work well for small to medium cavities
Amalgam Fillings
Amalgam fillings are made from a blend of metals, including silver, mercury, tin, and copper. They're strong and long-lasting, making them great for back teeth where there’s more pressure from chewing.
Ceramic Fillings
Ceramic fillings are crafted from porcelain or similar materials. They resist staining better than composite fillings and look natural. These fillings are suitable for both front and back teeth.
Glass Ionomer Fillings
Glass ionomer fillings combine glass and acrylic materials. They release fluoride, which helps protect against further decay. These fillings are often used in areas below the gum line or in spots with less pressure.
How To Take Care Of A Dental Filling
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day using fluoride toothpaste. Don’t forget to floss daily to remove food particles and plaque that can accumulate around the filling.
- Avoid Hard Foods: Try your best to steer clear of hard foods like ice and hard candies that can put extra pressure on your filling and potentially cause it to crack or loosen.
- Limit Sugary Snacks and Drinks: Minimize your intake of sugary foods and beverages, as they can contribute to tooth decay around the filling.
- Regular Dental Checkups: Visit your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings. They can monitor the condition of your fillings and provide professional dental cleaning.
