Today, we’re talking about something many of us might not think about much: dental fillings. They’re more important than you might realize, and here’s why.
Many people think you only need a filling when you have a toothache. But the truth is that cavities often start without any pain. That’s why they can be sneaky – you don’t feel them, but they’re there, and they’re growing. Most decay happens in between your teeth under the enamel surface so you can’t tell it is there.
A tiny, pain-free cavity won’t stay small. It’s like a snowball rolling downhill, getting bigger and bigger. Once the decay breaks through the tooth’s outer layer (the enamel), it doesn’t stop. It keeps going, and the longer you wait, the worse it gets.
Delaying a filling isn’t just about more pain later. It’s also about more complicated and expensive treatments. Think of it this way: A small filling is a quick fix, but if you wait too long, you might need a root canal, a crown, or even have to say goodbye to your tooth (and we don’t want that!).
We get it. Dental treatments can hit the wallet hard. But don’t let that stop you from getting the care you need. At Innovadent, we offer finance plans and are always open to discussing options. We’re here to help make sure you can afford your smile.
If you’re unsure about anything or just want to chat about your teeth, give us a shout. Our doors (and ears) are always open for you.
If you suspect you have a cavity, come and see us. It’s better to tackle it early when it’s small and manageable. Your teeth (and your future self) will thank you!
