How are tooth-colored fillings placed?
After removing decay, the dentist fills the cavity with a composite material that matches the tooth’s color, then cures it with a special light.
What causes gum recession?
Factors include aggressive brushing, gum disease, genetics, teeth grinding, tobacco use, and misaligned teeth.
How do I deal with a knocked-out tooth?
If possible, reinsert it immediately. If not, keep it moist in milk and seek emergency dental treatment ASAP.
How do dentists treat a broken tooth?
Depending on the severity, treatments can include dental bonding, veneers, crowns, root canals, or dental implants.
Why do we lose baby teeth?
They serve as placeholders for permanent teeth. As permanent teeth grow beneath them, roots of baby teeth dissolve, leading to them loosening and falling out.
What’s the difference between a dental filling and a bonding?
A filling restores a tooth damaged by decay, while bonding repairs chipped or cracked teeth using a tooth-colored composite resin.
