Tooth fillings is a material used by dentists to restore teeth damaged by decay or mechanical trauma. Modern fillings can be made of composite, porcelain or amalgam. Composite fillings are most popular because they are aesthetically pleasing and can be matched to the natural colour of the patient's teeth.
The fillings have a protective function, preventing the further spread of cariesand allow the tooth to function normally when biting. It is worth remembering that fillings can wear out over time, so regular dental check-ups are essential to assess their condition and replace them if necessary.
