How A Dentist Fills A Cavity

By Regency Dental Group Includes video

What's really happening in your mouth when the dentist is filling a cavity? This video shows the steps that dentists may take to remove the dental decay and fill in the cavity with a composite restoration! Dental fillings are the first line of defensive restoration used to stop and correct the damage caused by tooth decay! They’re used on people of all ages, from young children to mature adults. Since cavities are one of the most common oral diseases behind gum disease, getting a filling is quite a routine ordeal!
