Item description

Tooth fillings are a common dental procedure used to restore the function and integrity of a tooth that has been damaged by decay or other issues. Here are four common causes for needing a tooth filling.

1. Cavities (Tooth Decay): The most common reason for tooth fillings is cavities, which occur when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that erode the enamel and dentin layers of the teeth. When the decay is not too severe, a filling can restore the tooth's structure.
2. Tooth Fractures or Cracks: Teeth can crack or fracture due to trauma, biting down on hard objects, or grinding (bruxism). Fillings are used to repair minor fractures or cracks in the enamel to prevent further damage or decay.
3. Worn Down Teeth: Teeth can wear down over time due to habits like grinding or clenching (bruxism), nail-biting, or using teeth to open packages. Fillings can help restore the natural shape and function of worn-down teeth.
4. Erosion from Acidic Foods or Drinks: Consuming acidic foods and beverages (such as soda, citrus, or vinegar) can wear away tooth enamel, leading to small pits or areas of erosion that may require fillings to protect the tooth and prevent further damage.
