Has it been a long time since you were able to enjoy a meal, or even a snack, without pesky discomfort getting in the way? Heightened sensitivity can make hot foods and drinks almost painful, and can cause cold treats like ice cream to make you to want to scream, and not in a delightful way. Fortunately, if you are suffering from sensitivity or dental pain, restorative treatment could come to the rescue. In the case of cavities, which are the most common cause of dental discomfort, dental fillings are a fast and effective way of protecting the smile and restoring a patient’s comfort!
Don’t Ignore Sensitivity or Discomfort
One of the most important things to know, when it comes to your smile, is that while some sensitivity is not uncommon, you should never ignore potential symptoms of dental problems, like cavities. Especially if your sensitivity seems sudden or heightened, it could likely be due to enamel erosion or other trauma to a tooth that might require restorative treatment.
Teeth are incredibly strong, but they lack the ability to repair themselves the way the skin and some other organs can, so if a tooth becomes damaged, restorative treatment is likely the only way to repair it, and to improve your comfort.
A Filling Is a Fast Solution for Dental Decay
Dental fillings are one of the most common restorative treatments, because cavities are the most common dental issue. They actually affect over 90 percent of the adults in America.
Fortunately, modern dental fillings are designed to be both comfortable and natural-looking, allowing for confidence when smiling and chewing. Made of composite resin which bonds tightly with teeth and conducts less heat than metal, many patients find these tooth-colored fillings far more comfortable than the metal amalgam fillings that were once most common.
