Tooth Fillings

The dentist performed eight dental crowns, four root canals and 20 fillings in a single visit.

The medical team was successfully able to pull out the metal piece from the narrow airways without any harm to the patient.

A toothache or a pain in or around a tooth can be caused by abcessed tooth, tooth decay, tooth fracture, damaged tooth filling, infected gums, etc. Read to know the top reasons why you are experiencing toothache.

Due to the constant jaw clenching and fluctuations in the atmospheric pressure underwater, divers may experience symptoms that range from tooth, jaw and gum pain to loosened crowns and broken dental fillings, says a study.

In a breakthrough, researchers claim to have developed new dental fillings that can actively repair tooth decay, prolong the life of composite fillings and reduce the need for mercury based amalgams.

Bioactive glass can be used in tooth fillings to reduce the ability of bacteria to attack composite tooth fillings, and perhaps even provide some of the minerals needed to replace those lost to tooth decay, engineers from Oregon State University said.

If you've ever endured a dental filling based on the advice that there's no other way to stop tooth decay before it gets worse, you may be a bit, well, annoyed when you hear about the latest study on this topic.

The findings suggest that tooth decay or dental caries can be stopped, reversed, and prevented without the need for the traditional 'fill and drill' approach that has dominated dental care for decades.

Preventative oral care can reduce the need for unpleasant dental drilling and filling by 30-50 per cent, says a study.
