If your tooth has deep decay or infection affecting the pulp, a root canal may be needed; otherwise, a filling suffices.

It’s recommended to wait at least 1-2 hours before eating after getting a filling to ensure it fully sets and avoids discomfort.

Getting fillings during pregnancy is generally safe with proper precautions, but it’s best to consult with your dentist for guidance.

After getting a crown or bridge, good oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and regular check-ups ensure longevity.

The crown process involves tooth preparation, taking impressions, and fitting the final crown after some healing.

Dental bonding can improve the appearance of crooked teeth by reshaping them, but it’s not a permanent solution for severe misalignment.

Dental bonding typically lasts 5-10 years, depending on the material and care, before requiring touch-ups or replacement.

Dental bonding may cause temporary tooth sensitivity or discoloration if not maintained properly.

Silver fillings are still used in some cases, but tooth-colored options like composite fillings are more popular for aesthetics.

Composite fillings are tooth-colored and blend with natural teeth, offering a more aesthetic alternative to silver fillings.
