When A Filling Begins To Feel Loose

Dental fillings are a permanent solution for the problem of enamel damage caused by decay. When a cavity forms, the damage is not something you can heal from naturally. This is why you need to receive a restoration that can remain in place for the long term. At our Rochester, MN dentist’s office, we can provide a filling that is able to match your enamel and provide long-term protection. In addition to taking care of new issues that arise, we are able to help when there are issues with older restorations. Whether it is physically damaged or worn down through years of biting and chewing friction, a filling may start to feel loose. We can catch this problem and provide treatment before the problem becomes more serious.

Are You Growing Concerned About An Older Restoration?

While dental fillings are put in place to provide permanent protection, it is possible for you to have some problems with one, particularly one that is older. A metal filling can react to temperature changes by growing or shrinking, leading to gradually worsening issues with its support. You can also experience problems due to poor oral health and years of friction from biting and chewing. If an older restoration starts to feel uncomfortable for any reason, you should bring up the matter with your dentist. A timely replacement will protect your tooth, preserve your bite, and help you avoid potential oral health complications. We should note that there are times where a dental crown will need to replace a dental filling, as your tooth’s needs may have changed, making more support necessary.

We Can Look Our For Trouble With Older Fillings And Crowns At Routine Dental Exams

During your regular dental exams, you can receive updates about the state of any fillings that you have, as well as about any dental crowns that have been put in place. By receiving an early warning about one that is not as secure as it should be, you can avoid problems with enamel damage that can hurt your oral health. These visits also provide protection so that there is not a need to place new restorations.

Talk To Your Rochester, MN Dentist About Your Concern For A Loose Filling

When a dental filling begins to feel loose and uncomfortable, it can be hard to shake the feeling that something is wrong. Rather than hold onto that feeling and hope the matter resolves itself, you should let your dentist know about your concerns. Through treatment, we can make sure that your tooth has the support it needs from the right restoration. To find out how we can take care of this and other matters during your routine dental visits, please call Calcagno Cosmetic And Family Dentistry in Rochester, MN at (507) 281-3659.
