Tooth filling
=========================
Tooth filling or restorative treatment is one of the dental treatments used to maintain the beauty and functionality of teeth. Dental fillings are used to repair tooth decay, fracture or mild erosion and surface damage. One of the common side effects of tooth decay is the loss of tooth enamel, which can lead to increased tooth sensitivity. Dental filling can have a significant effect in treating these cases. But in some cases, due to the type of problem, additional treatments are needed.
Types of tooth filling
If you need to fill a tooth, there are many options for the dentist to fill the tooth, but the dentist chooses the best option according to the location of the tooth, its cost and the patient's insurance coverage. Here we will explain the types of dental fillings. Different types of dental fillings are chosen by a dentist or restorative specialist based on the degree of decay, location and efficiency of the tooth.
### Dental composite filling
Composites are very popular among patients because of the same color composite fillings that make them difficult to distinguish. Dental composite materials are not expensive, but they need to be replaced after 5 years, in addition, these metal materials are not very durable. Composites are more expensive than amalgam but cheaper than gold. It is recommended to use tooth-colored composites to fill the front teeth. Composite fillings are very strong and provide better coverage around the teeth. A composite filling in the right place can last for several years. The price of composite material is higher than amalgam, so composite filling is more expensive than amalgam filling. On the other hand, the technique of using composite is more complicated and placing them on the tooth is time-consuming.
#### Tooth filling with silver amalgam
Silver amalgam has the same quality as gold filling, but it costs less. However, most people do not like the way they look. In addition, silver amalgam can cause tooth fractures due to its expansion or contraction in response to other filling materials. Therefore, it is not recommended to use silver amalgam to fill teeth, especially front teeth that are important in your appearance.
#### Gold tooth filling
Tooth filling with gold lasts longer and does not erode. It usually lasts up to 15 years. Most people choose gold fillings, despite the fact that gold fillings can cost up to 10 times more than silver amalgam. Filling with gold should be done in more than one session.
Ceramic materials are mostly porcelain. These materials are beautiful and durable. However, since they may become uneven over time, they are covered with a coating. These materials can be used to fill all kinds of teeth, both front and back. In addition to their resistance, these fillings are beautiful and no one can recognize the fillings of a sick tooth.
These materials usually last less than 5 years, however, since their teeth are still growing, they can be an excellent choice for children. In addition, they can produce fluoride, which can prevent tooth decay. Keeping children's milk teeth for a suitable period of time is important, and these materials are recommended for filling milk teeth.
To answer the question of whether dental fillings are harmful to our health or not, we must say that so far there have been no reports of such problems. Therefore, until the industry introduces a new alternative for tooth filling, the use of these materials is recommended. Brushing the mouth and teeth after filling removes these harmful substances from the mouth to a large extent. If the patient does not eat after 30 minutes, there will be no problem.
The cost of tooth filling depends on the type of filling material. It is obvious that filling gold teeth is more expensive than amalgam, in addition, composite fillings are more expensive than amalgam fillings due to the complex process and expensive materials used for this method.
