Kids hardly listen to all the warnings about cavities and stuff their mouths with chocolate and candy. This is part of the reason that tooth decay affects 9 out of 10 people in the US and kids are especially prone to the condition. If your teeth have fallen victim to painful cavities, Best Dental Care offers composite restorations to fix the damage and leave your smile as good as new!
What Are Composite Restorations For?
When worse comes to worst, and cavities have drilled a hole in your teeth, we use composite restorations to fix the damage. First, we remove the ill tissue so bacteria can’t enter the center of your teeth and cause further damage. Then, we cover the gaps with a composite resin to even out the tooth’s surface. Filling the cavity allows you to resume normal activities without the risk of infection.
Is Getting a Composite Restoration Painful?
Thanks to the magic of sedation, you won’t feel any pain while we place the composite restoration on your tooth. It might sting a little when we inject anesthesia to numb the damaged area, but you won’t feel discomfort during the procedure. The benefits of composite restorations outweigh potential fears, as your teeth will heal and receive a shield against future cavities.
How Long Do Composite Restorations Last?
Composite restorations are made of resin, so they’re bound to last a decade or more. However, they wear out over time, so a dentist should occasionally check their condition. If you want your restorations to stick around for as long as possible, try these tips:
- Brush regularly
- Avoid sugar
- Stop smoking
