Signs You May Need a Tooth Filling

Common Signs You Need a Tooth Filling

Pay attention to these subtle warning signs that indicate potential tooth decay:

• Sensitivity to Sweets or Temperature: Brief sharp pain when eating hot, cold, or sugary foods.
• Visible Dark Spots or Holes: Brown, black, or grey discoloration on the biting surface of a tooth.
• Food Getting Constantly Trapped: Food lodging between specific teeth where enamel has broken down.
• Rough or Chipped Tooth Surface: Feeling a jagged edge with your tongue where decay has hollowed enamel.
• Pain When Biting: Mild discomfort or pressure when chewing food.

Why Timely Cavity Treatment Matters

Tooth enamel cannot regenerate on its own once decay breaks through.

Treating a cavity early with a tooth-colored composite filling seals the tooth, stops bacterial progression, and avoids the need for extensive procedures like root canals or extractions.
