What Is A Dental Filling?
Dental fillings are needed when decay has formed a “hole” in the tooth. If this decay is not removed it can become a trap for food and bacteria. Dental cavities continue to worsen until the area is properly cleaned of any decay and finally replaced with a dental filling.
When dental fillings are small, the dental treatment is affordable and oftentimes covered mostly by dental insurance. Our offices offer general dental exams that are covered by dental insurance in most cases to help keep a lookout for dental decay or periodontal disease.

If you are suffering from the following symptoms, you may need a dental filling.
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, and sugary foods
