Your dentist in Jacksonville explains the importance of fillings

By Holly Nadji September 6, 2018
Fillings Reduce the Spread of Decay

Even people who are extremely diligent about brushing and flossing their teeth may develop cavities. That’s because our teeth have to put up with a lot on a day to day basis. Sugars and starches in food interact with the bacteria in our mouths, leading to plaque, tartar, and cavities.

Once a cavity forms, it won’t heal on its own. In fact, it will only get worse if it’s left untreated. Therefore, if you notice that one of your teeth is particularly sensitive to hot and cold temperature, is in pain a lot, or there is a visible pit in it, it’s time to head to the dentist for a checkup. Getting that cavity filled will prevent further decay and preserve your precious smile.

Fillings Prevent Major Dental Work

When cavities go unaddressed, they reach a point where a filling is no longer adequate to take care of them. You may end up needing extensive dental work, such as a root canal and crown or even an extraction. These processes are often costly and more time-consuming than getting a filling.

Dental fillings are important! If you suspect you need one, we urge you to see your dentist sooner rather than later.
