Why You Might Need a Dental Filling
Cavities can develop for many reasons, including diet, oral hygiene habits, or genetics. Left untreated, they may lead to pain, infection, or even the need for more complex treatments like Root Canals.
You may need a dental filling if you are experiencing:
- Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Visible dark spots or holes in your teeth
- Pain when biting or chewing
- Rough or chipped enamel
