Dental fillings are often used to restore teeth that have a small amount of tooth decay, otherwise known as a cavity.
Fillings are a common restorative procedure in modern dentistry with the prevalence of cavities not just in children, but adults as well. All of the sugar-infested foods and drinks we consume are large culprits of tooth decay. Even foods like pasta, bread and fruits can cause decay if they stay on teeth.
The least expensive option that offers strength at the cost of giving you an unnatural appearance in your teeth is the Silver (amalgam) filling. They also contain mercury, a substance that is known to cause toxicity in humans. At Dr. Sally’s office we have chosen not to use silver fillings.
If you have had a silver filling done, we offer to replace it with a solution that provides a natural appearance and doesn’t expose you to toxicity.
