Fillings in Tuggerah
At Bluewater Dental, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy smile. Fillings are one of the most common procedures to help restore normal tooth function and prevent further damage from cavities. When a cavity is close to the root, it can cause a lot of pain. Delaying medical attention may affect our ability to save the tooth; we recommend scheduling an appointment with our dentist as soon as possible.
Why You May Need a Filling
Poor oral hygiene is the most common cause of tooth damage. Not brushing and flossing daily can leave food residue on teeth, which lingers until it starts to eat away at the tooth. Broken, chipped or cracked teeth may also be candidates for a filling.
Over time, fillings can wear down due to daily use, chewing and other factors and may need to be replaced to prevent further decay and potentially more significant problems.
Our experienced dentist, Dr Keshwara, assesses each patient’s dental condition to determine the best course of action for maintaining healthy teeth and preventing complications.
Regular dental check-ups every six months are essential to monitor the condition of fillings and ensure optimal oral health.
Personalised Care for Your Smile
At Bluewater Dental, we provide personalised care for fillings based on individual needs. Depending on the severity of decay and the condition of existing fillings, our approach may vary between
- Watchful Waiting—we may adopt a watchful waiting approach for minor wear or early signs of wear-down, closely monitoring the condition during regular check-ups
- Prompt Replacement—when fillings show significant wear or deterioration, prompt replacement may be necessary to avoid further decay and ensure the tooth’s health and longevity
- Immediate Intervention—if decay is detected during a check-up, immediate intervention such as cavity drilling and filling creation or replacement may be recommended to prevent the spread of decay and more significant dental issues
