Dental Filling
Dental filling is an emergency procedure that plays an important role in dentistry. It aims to restore the tooth's shape, function and aesthetics after it has been damaged by caries or trauma. Timely filling helps prevent the disease's progression and avoid the need for more complex and expensive interventions, such as crowns or dental implants. Quality treatment in the early stages keeps your teeth healthy and supports overall oral well-being.

Dental filling with EasyMed
Indications for tooth filling
- Caries: The main indication for filling is tooth decay. This is a common disease in which the tooth's hard tissues are destroyed under the influence of acids formed during the life of bacteria in dental plaque.
- Enamel wear: Over time, teeth's enamel can wear out, leading to the formation of microcracks and chips. Fillings help restore the tooth's structure and function, preventing further damage.
- Cracks and chips: Minor cracks or chips in the teeth that result from trauma, chewing hard foods, or other external factors may also require fillings to prevent them from enlarging and developing more serious problems.
- Old fillings: Over time, old fillings can wear out, loosen, or chip off. Replacement with new fillings is necessary to maintain the health and functionality of the tooth.
- Indentations and imperfections on the surface of the tooth: In some cases, fillings are used to correct small indentations or imperfections on the surface of the tooth that can accumulate food and plaque, contributing to the development of tooth decay.
- Prevention: Sometimes fillings are used prophylactically to protect teeth, especially baby teeth, from the possible development of caries in the recesses and grooves of the chewing surfaces.
Preparation for tooth filling
- Consultation with a dentist: Before filling, a consultation is necessary. During this visit, the doctor assesses the tooth's condition and determines the need and scope of the upcoming procedure.
- Oral hygiene: Teeth should be thoroughly brushed and flossed before a visit to the dentist to minimize bacteria and keep the work area clean for the doctor.
- Temporary abstinence from food and drink: A few hours before the procedure, it is recommended that you abstain from food and drinks, especially coloring ones, to avoid possible discomfort and improve the conditions for treatment.
- Smoking abstinence: Smokers are advised not to smoke for a few hours before the procedure, as it can affect the blood supply to the tissues and healing after the filling.
- Preparation of anamnesis: It is important to inform the dentist about all existing diseases, allergic reactions, and medications taken to prevent possible complications and choose the best method of treatment.
- Determination of pain sensitivity: If you have tooth sensitivity or a fear of dental procedures, it is worth discussing this in advance with your doctor before selecting pain relief and sedation methods.
Important! When making an appointment for a tooth filling, the EasyMed manager will inform you about all the nuances of preparation to guarantee comfort and safety during treatment.
How is the procedure performed
Coming to the clinic for tooth filling begins with registration at the appointment, where the patient draws up the necessary documents. This is followed by a consultation with the dentist, including an examination and discussion of the treatment plan, which takes about 10-15 minutes.
After that, the patient prepares for the procedure: he is asked to rinse his mouth with an antiseptic solution, and if necessary, local anesthesia is administered, which will take another 5-10 minutes. The filling procedure lasts from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case, including removing damaged areas of the tooth, treating the cavity and placing a filling. Upon completion, the dentist performs grinding and polishing of the filling, and then gives recommendations for the care of the filling and teeth, which will take another 10-15 minutes.
The total time spent in the clinic can vary from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the treatment and the time required for anesthesia and registration. To ensure comfortable and effective treatment, the patient is provided with detailed information about all the stages of the procedure and the time that will be spent on it.
Contraindications to the procedure
- Acute period of infectious diseases: For example, influenza, SARS, tuberculosis or HIV in the active phase, as the risk of spreading infection and reduced immune protection can negatively affect the treatment process and healing.
- Severe forms of cardiovascular disease: Including recent heart attacks, strokes, uncontrolled hypertension, which may pose a risk to the patient during dental intervention.
- Allergy to filling materials: If the patient has a known allergy to the components of the filling materials, such as amalgam, composite resins, or others, alternative materials must be selected.
- Severe mental disorders: Which render the patient unable to follow the necessary instructions or react uncontrollably during the procedure.
- Certain blood disorders: Especially those related to clotting disorders, such as hemophilia, which can increase the risk of bleeding during and after the procedure.
- Severe diabetes: Especially with poor blood sugar control, which can slow down the healing process and increase the risk of infectious complications.
Important! When making an appointment for a tooth filling, the EasyMed manager will inform the client about all potential contraindications and discuss individual characteristics to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
Safety of the procedure
The tooth filling procedure is considered safe and is widely used in dentistry to restore damaged teeth. It allows you to save the tooth and prevent further problems, such as infections or tooth loss.
Fillings are performed as needed when tooth decay or damage is detected. There are no strict restrictions on the frequency as it depends on the individual condition of the patient’s teeth and oral cavity. Regular dental checkups help determine the need for fillings and other treatments.
When performed correctly, tooth fillings are not considered harmful. Modern materials and treatment methods minimize risks and side effects. However, like any medical intervention, fillings can have potential risks, such as allergic reactions to the filling materials, short-term tooth sensitivity, or, rarely, nerve damage.
To ensure the procedure’s safety, choosing qualified dentists and visiting the dental office regularly for preventive checkups and dental care is important. Proper care and timely treatment of oral diseases will help avoid frequent fillings and keep teeth healthy for many years.
