Here are some important things you need to know about dental fillings<\/p>\n
\u2022 Maintaining dental fillings is important and can be done through good oral hygiene. This includes brushing daily with a toothpaste that contains fluoride as well as regular flossing.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If a filled tooth experiences sensitivity and pain or reacts to pressure, temperature or sweet foods, it is important to contact your dentist straight away. This usually happens for some time after placing the filling and disappears without medication. However, if it does not, inform your dentist<\/p>\n
\u2022 If you find biting painful let your dentist know as it could mean that the filling requires reshaping.<\/p>\n
Regular check-ups, at least once every six months, are important. This can help find cracks, chips or wear of the filling which are caused by grinding teeth and chewing. Treating this immediately can reduce many problems.<\/p>\n
