What is a lost filling?
A lost filling occurs when the filling that was placed in a tooth to replace a cavity loosens or falls out. This can be due to a number of reasons, including tooth decay, trauma or chewing hard food. When a filling is missing, the nerves in the tooth can be more susceptible to irritation and pain.
Symptoms of lost filling
Symptoms of a lost filling can vary, but common signs include pain or sensitivity when eating or drinking, especially when it's hot or cold. You may also notice a sharp edge on the tooth where the filling has fallen out. It is important to have the tooth checked by a dentist as soon as possible to avoid further damage or infection.
How Clinica Smile can help
Our experienced dentists at Clinica Smile can help you repair a lost filling in a short time. We will first examine your tooth and determine the best treatment plan for you. This may include removing any remaining filling material and filling the hole with a new filling. We only use high quality materials to ensure that the repair is durable and looks natural.
Finishing the treatment
After a lost filling is repaired, you may experience some mild symptoms such as sensitivity or pain in the tooth. This should subside after a few days. It is important to keep your teeth clean and healthy by brushing and flossing regularly and visiting the dentist for regular check-ups.
Dental Health Tips:
- Brush your teeth properly: Brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day for at least two minutes each time. Use a fluoride toothpaste to strengthen tooth enamel.
- Clean between the teeth: Use dental floss or interdental brushes daily to remove plaque and food debris that the brush cannot reach.
- Visit the dentist regularly: Go to the dentist at least twice a year for routine check-ups and professional teeth cleaning.
- Eat a healthy diet: Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks that can lead to tooth decay. Eat more fruits, vegetables and calcium-rich foods to maintain strong teeth.
- Avoid tobacco products: Smoking and sniffing can cause dental problems and gum disease. Try to stop or reduce the use of these products for better dental health.
- Protect your teeth during activities: Use a mouth guard during sports activities or when you perform activities with a risk of tooth damage.
- Care for dentures: If you have dentures, be sure to clean them regularly and store them safely to avoid damage and infection.
