Are silver fillings still used?



Dental Filling is a method used to restore teeth that are damaged by tooth decay. In this method, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed and is cleaned. The cleaned-out cavity is then filled with a filling material. The filling material used for filling includes gold, porcelain, composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and Amalgam fillings.

 Amalgam fillings are otherwise known as silver fillings. Amalgam fillings are a mixture of silver, mercury, tin, and copper. Amalgam fillings or silver fillings which have been in use since 1895 have become obsolete and out of use. The more common materials that are in use these days are composite fillings. Composite fillings are tooth-colored and hence they blend with our teeth more naturally. The flexibility of composite filling resin reduces the amount of tooth portion that needs to be drilled.

    (By the way, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and really, EVERYTHING about "how" they eat.)

    BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "what"...

Do fillings strengthen teeth?

Dental fillings have been used to restore decayed or fractured teeth for many hundreds of years. Although the process of dental fillings has remained almost the same throughout, the fillings used have changed quite a bit. Due to the improvements in dentistry, today's filling materials have been greatly improved.  Today's fillings are mercury-free, tooth-colored composite fillings. These filings are made up of durable resin and porcelain materials. These fillings bond to the tooth structure effectively while providing added strength to the tooth.  Call Expert Dental Care at 99415-11444 to know more about laser filling of teeth cost in India and laser gum treatment cost in India .   Visit us at https://www.expertdental.in/ to know more about our dental clinic in Kilpauk .

Root Canal in second molars
