Dental Fillings Service Options and Aftercare

Advanced services and prosthetics such as fillings, can help preserve dental and overall health. At Chesterland Family Dental Care, we can help you take care of your teeth before, during, and after the fillings are placed. That is the goal of this review of dental fillings service options by Dr. Brianne Fratantonio and Associates for Chesterland, Ohio residents.

How to Care for Your Fillings

Once a dental filling is placed, how long it lasts and how well it performs will be significantly impacted by how well the filling and the rest of the teeth are cared for.

Essentially, you should treat dental fillings as you would your natural teeth. Any sort of dental work means you should be even more mindful of your overall teeth and gum health.

Chesterland, Ohio, allows residents to make the best call for their dental care needs. Following these tips from Chesterland, Ohio, dentists can help you care for your fillings:

• Brushing twice a day is a great way to keep your teeth and fillings clean
• Using fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash can protect against plaque and build-up
• A diet low on sugary foods is another step to protecting teeth and gums
• It is a good idea to avoid or limit chewing hard candy, ice, and similar hard foods
• Avoid biting fingernails, pens, pencils, and other hard items that can cause damage
• Liquids like coffee, tea, soda, and red wine can stain teeth and also affect fillings

Getting Regular Dental Check-ups and Cleanings from Chesterland Family Dental Care 

Regular dental checkups and cleanings are also important. If possible, dental checkups should be scheduled every six months or more frequently if you have other tooth or gum issues that need to be monitored. 

When you have dental fillings, routine checks by a dental care expert are vital to ensure your fillings are in good condition. Any damage or concern must be addressed immediately to ensure your fillings and teeth remain strong and healthy. 

Schedule an appointment with your dentist immediately if:

• You suddenly have tooth sensitivity or more sensitivity than normal
• You see a crack on a filling, or the filling seems to be loose at all
• Some of the filling seems like it is missing, cracked, or damaged
• You lose the entire filling and have a hole or broken tooth now
• There are either concerns you have about your fillings and dental health
