Dental filling care is no different from the care of normal teeth. it is easy. You’ll be doing your best care by keeping up with your regular dental care routine, brushing and flossing twice a day. If you go to regular dental examinations and inform your dentist as soon as any changes occur, you will easily protect your dental and filling health.
It is very normal and common to have an increased level of sensitivity soon after a filling has been created. These pains will gradually decrease over the course of two weeks and will become easier to tolerate. If the toothache is so sensitive that it prevents you from chewing or speaking, you can contact your doctor and use painkillers under the doctor’s control.
Tooth decay after filling is only possible if the bonds between the filling and tooth enamel are broken. Caries may occur due to the accumulation of food residues in the cavity that will form here and the effect of bacteria. However, caries can always be prevented by regular cleaning.
The sensitivity after the filling will end in two to four weeks. However, if you think that no progress has been made during this period, it would be useful to contact your dentist.
