Do You Need a Composite (White) Filling?

Composite (White) Fillings

If you have developed a small or medium-sized cavity, you will most likely require a filling. Cavities appear due to harmful deposits that destroy the enamel of the teeth and enter its interior, continuing to expand the destruction of the tooth. The cavity should be removed immediately. After the destruction of the hard tooth tissue, inflammation occurs. Therefore, the cavity should be removed as soon as possible and fill the hole that appears when removing the cavity.

Composite (White) Filling

Composite fillings are the most widely used today. A composite filling is a white filling. It is specific in its composition, which is suitable for sticking to the surface of the teeth. The composite filling provides communication with the tooth so effectively that there are no breakages. The power of composite fillings is much greater than the strength of the tooth. For this reason, it happens that the tooth itself breaks down, and the filling remains untouched.

Composite filling`s properties allow you to choose a filling that does not differ from the color of the adjacent teeth. Moreover, modern composites can serve as a material for sculpting the damaged part of the tooth after destruction. If you compare the composite with traditional filling materials, then with their help you can make a filling that no one will notice.
