When Do You Need a Filling?
A cavity is a hole in the tooth caused by decay. Left alone, it grows deeper toward the nerve and can lead to pain, infection or a cracked tooth. A filling stops that process by removing the decay and sealing the tooth.
Early cavities often have no symptoms, which is why regular dental check-ups with X-rays matter. Signs you may need a filling include sensitivity to sweet, hot or cold foods, a rough spot or hole you can feel, or food getting stuck in the same place.
If decay or an old filling has damaged a large part of the tooth, a crown may protect it better than a filling. We will tell you which option makes sense and why.
