Dental Filling Services
Dental Filling
Dental filling is done when a tooth shows signs of decay or cavity. It is also placed to repair teeth that have chipped off or worn down.
When Do I Need A Filling?
You may need a dental filling when you have one of the following symptoms:
- You can see a cavity or dark spot.
- Your tooth is sensitive.
- Your tooth hurts
- Your old filling is lost.
- Your tooth is chipped or cracked.
It is recommended to visit your dentist for routine examination, so that tooth decay can be detected and treated early before more complicated treatments have to be done.

FAQ
