A dental filling becomes necessary when tooth decay results
in the development of a cavity in a tooth. Cavities require treatment before
the decay worsens and puts the health of the entire tooth at risk. Without
intervention, infection can soon follow a cavity, necessitating root canal
treatment. Soon after infection, a tooth may die and fall out. Much of the information
about tooth decay and dental fillings is common knowledge. But did you know
that fillings no longer come in just a silver color? Take this quiz from your Grand Prairie dentist below and see
what you find out about white fillings.
