Composite Fillings Keep Your Smile Safe

Posted by

Smiling redhead Dallas TXFrom time to time, you may develop a cavity in one of your teeth. This term refers to an area in which your natural enamel has been lost due to tooth decay, and if you do not seek treatment, you could develop additional concerns. The bulk of your tooth matter consists of a material known as dentin, and it is less dense than your enamel, allowing bacteria to develop colonies within. If this continues, you can develop a serious infection within the soft tissue known as pulp, requiring a root canal treatment.

For the protection of your tooth after you have developed a cavity, reach out to your dental provider at Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX. We proudly offer composite resin fillings, so you can have a restoration that matches the shade of the rest of your smile. Reach out to a knowledgeable provider about both your repair and ways to improve your hygiene, and take the steps to prevent future tooth decay. (more…)
