A "filling" or dental restoration is the term used to "fill" or repair a gap or cavity in a tooth. Individuals can get to be hesitant about their teeth when they are chipped, stained, twisted, abnormal or missing. They might discover the need to cover their mouth each time they smile and abstain from smiling with their teeth in photographs. Aside from influencing a person's confidence level, it also instigates a person's oral well being if chipped or missing teeth are left untreated.
A depression or cavity can be made through dental rot (microbes brought on by high sugar diets and inability to enough expel plaque from teeth). This microscopic organisms destroys the hard surface of the tooth and causes a gap that should be filled. By filling a depression as soon as possible you will stop the microorganisms in its tracks, conceivably sparing the tooth from requiring more propelled treatment.
There are different types of filling used in dentistry that helps in dental restoration.
White Filling: This helps in providing the natural appearance to the teeth. The composite resin or white plastic-like material is used in to fill the cavity. This type of filling is perfect for the front teeth but is not recommended for the back teeth that are widely used for chewing purposes.
Silver Filling: It is used for filling up the cavity in the back teeth that are used for chewing. The reason for this is that copper amalgam is used in this which is considered of superior strength.
