Temporary Filling
At First Dent, you can enjoy high quality care and cheap tooth filling in Abu Dhabi. Temporary fillings serve to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay to their normal function while also preventing additional decay. When deciding which type of filling material is okay for you, your dentist will consider a number of variables. The degree of the repair, the location of the filling in your mouth, and the cost are all things to consider. A dentist may use a temporary tooth filling for a variety of reasons. Perhaps you’ve recently had a root canal, or you’re waiting for a gold filling or crown to be placed on a troublesome tooth. Whatever the cause, you’re probably wondering what you can and can’t do until your tooth is fully restored when you get a dental filling. Temporary or semi-permanent dental fillings degrade with time. If not changed, they might break and fall out due to the softer substance. A temporary filling’s lifespan varies depending on the individual and the substance used, but it can last anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. Inquire with our dentist about the duration of your temporary filling and when you should return for the permanent filling. If you are looking for affordable tooth filling in Abu Dhabi, contact our clinic.
You might be wondering why your dentist does a temporary filling instead of a more permanent one so you don’t have to go back to a permanent one, and just finish off the task. Unfortunately, that isn’t possible because the fillings are done to settle down the nerve and to let the tooth heal. Temporary fillings are done after a root canal, so it is important that the nerves heal before you can do permanent filling with them. This would alleviate the pain, and you can resume normal activities until it is time to do the permanent job. Normally, this goes on until 6-8 weeks, and then you will have to schedule an appointment for a check-up and permanent filling.
The benefits of temporary filling
- When you need more than one visit to clear your dental problem, for example, gold fillings, or for specific filling procedures
- Following a root canal procedure
- To allow the nerves to settle down and to calm the pulp
- If you have an emergency toothache
Temporary fillings can be finished quickly, and they provide sufficient protection to the tooth. They can hermetically seal the opening, and are mild on the oral tissues. Do not worry about the costs at all, we do affordable tooth filling in Abu Dhabi, with no compromise in quality.
If your dentist has suggested a dental filling, then get it done on time because not doing it, might lead to other problems like deep tooth decay, leading to prolonged tooth pain, oral infection and increased sensitivity. With tooth decay, the destruction to the enamel becomes irreversible if the filling is not done. When the cavity is left as it is, the decay will spread and affect the healthy parts of the tooth. When you keep ignoring it, the condition worsens and you might have to endure more painful procedures to treat the decay and save the rest of the teeth and gums. When you have a cavity, it cannot heal on its own and the treatment options become extensive and costly. So if you suspect a cavity, don't let it sit and grow, thinking it would magically resolve on its own. It would result in root canal or tooth extraction.
