Dental fillings are a common and effective restorative treatment for cavities, helping to restore the function and appearance of damaged teeth. At our office in La Jolla, CA, we provide high-quality dental fillings for patients looking to rejuvenate their smiles. Let’s  explore the process of getting a filling, how to prevent the need for one in the future, and the expertise of Dr. Chad Dains at Open Wide La Jolla.

Understanding the Dental Filling Procedure

Dental fillings are used to repair teeth damaged by decay or trauma. When you decide to get a filling, the dentist will first numb your mouth with a local anesthetic. The dentist then drills out the decayed tooth and fills it with a dental filling material. After this, he or she polishes and shapes the filling so that it looks natural in your mouth.

How to Prevent the Need for Dental Fillings

If you want to avoid having to have a filling in the future, there are some things you can do. The most important thing is to brush your teeth regularly and make sure that you don’t eat or drink too many sugary foods and drinks. If possible, try to cut back on the amount of sweets that you consume every day.

Also, try not to chew on hard objects like pens or pencils because this can damage the enamel on your teeth and cause cracks in it, which could eventually lead to decay if left untreated. Finally, be sure to see us for regular checkups so we can spot any problems early before they become serious!
