fillings and sealants

Not sure if you need a filling or sealant!

​

A dental filling is a restorative material used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by decay or trauma. It is typically made of composite resin or amalgam and is used to fill in the cavity left by the decayed or damaged tooth structure. A sealant, on the other hand, is a thin, plastic coating that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth to help prevent decay.

​

What teeth are they for?

​

It is typically used on the molars and premolars, which are more susceptible to decay due to their grooves and pits. While both treatments can help protect teeth, they are used for different purposes and in different situations.
