What are dental fillings, and why are they important?

Dental fillings are materials used to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay, fractures, or wear. When a tooth develops a cavity, a dentist removes the decayed portion and fills the space with a durable material such as composite resin, amalgam, or gold. Fillings help restore the tooth's structure, preventing further decay and maintaining proper chewing function. They also protect sensitive areas of the tooth, reducing discomfort caused by temperature changes or pressure. By addressing cavities early with fillings, patients can avoid more serious dental issues like root canals or tooth extractions, ensuring better oral health in the long run.
