What Are Dental Fillings

Dental fillings are materials used by dentists to repair and restore teeth that have been damaged by decay (cavities) or trauma. When a tooth develops a cavity due to bacterial decay, the affected portion of the tooth must be removed to prevent the decay from spreading further. Dental fillings are then placed in the cavity to restore the tooth’s shape, function, and strength.
