How Is Filling Treatment Performed?

Tooth decay is a problem that many people can experience at any age. This result is inevitable, especially in cases where adequate dental care is not performed or the teeth are prone to caries. If dental caries is not intervened early, it can create more difficult situations by articulating with different problems over time. Filling treatment is the method of removing the decayed area in the teeth and covering that empty area with a filling.

Before this treatment is applied to the patient, it is determined how much caries is in the teeth and which procedures will be more appropriate with x-rays. Sometimes, this process can be transformed by the need for root canal treatment during filling. If the filling area is very close to the gingiva, local anesthesia is applied. Usually, the procedure is completed without the need for anesthesia. All transactions take place within one session. It may take 30-40 minutes or more, depending on the condition of the tooth.

Who is Suitable for Filling Treatment?

Filling treatment does not include an age criterion, as it is a condition that people of all ages can experience. It can be applied to anyone when needed. It is checked that the treatment is limited to the filling and that no other procedure is required. In this way, a treatment plan is created and implemented. Considerations After Filling Treatment Points to be considered may vary depending on whether local anesthesia is applied or not. Artvin dentists say to pay attention to the following, especially after the procedure performed with anesthesia:

• It may be inconvenient to eat or drink anything until the effect of the anesthesia wears off. You may bite your tongue especially because you don't feel it.

• Do not consume too much drinks, especially tooth-wearing drinks.

• Do not overload that area for 1-2 days until the filler sets.

• Do not neglect your dental care. Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, using mouthwash if you are prone to caries, and not neglecting the use of dental floss will protect against cavities.
