Tooth Fillings for Cavities in Mohammadpur, Dhaka
A dental filling repairs a tooth damaged by decay (a cavity) by removing the decayed part and filling the space with a tooth-colored material, so the tooth works and looks normal again. Mohammadpur Dental provides tooth-colored composite fillings in Mohammadpur, Dhaka. Treating a cavity early usually means a smaller, simpler filling.
Understanding This Treatment
Tooth decay happens when bacteria in plaque turn sugars into acid that slowly dissolves the hard outer layer of the tooth. Early on there may be only a white or brown spot; later a hole (cavity) forms and can grow deeper towards the nerve.
To fill a cavity, the dentist removes the decayed part of the tooth and places a filling material to restore its shape. Composite fillings are matched to the colour of your tooth and bond to it, so they blend in with your smile.
Who Needs This Treatment?
- A visible hole, or a brown or black spot on a tooth
- Sensitivity to sweet, hot or cold food
- Food that keeps getting stuck in one place
- Pain when chewing
- A small chip or worn area on a tooth
Step-by-Step Clinical Procedure
1. Examination and X-ray
The dentist examines the tooth and, if needed, takes an X-ray to see how deep the decay goes.
2. Numbing
Local anaesthetic is used so the tooth is numb before any decay is removed.
3. Removing the decay
The decayed part of the tooth is removed and the cavity is cleaned.
4. Placing the filling
Tooth-colored composite is placed in layers and hardened with a special light.
5. Shaping and bite check
The filling is shaped and polished and your bite is checked so it feels natural.
Recovery & Aftercare Guidelines
You can usually go back to normal activities straight away. The numbness lasts a few hours, and the tooth may be a little sensitive to hot and cold for a few days.
- Wait until the numbness has worn off before eating, so you do not bite your tongue, lip or cheek.
- Brush and floss as usual, including around the filled tooth.
- Return to the dentist if your bite feels high or the pain does not settle within a few days.
