Tooth Fillings and Sealants
Dental fillings repair teeth damaged by decay or trauma, restoring their function and integrity with materials such as composite resin and amalgam. Dental sealants, on the other hand, are a preventive treatment applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They create a protective barrier that reduces the risk of cavities, especially in children and teenagers. Both treatments are essential for maintaining optimal dental health and preventing more serious issues.
