Teeth Filling

Tooth fillings are unpleasant but are a necessary part of treating tooth decay. Your general dentist will use x-rays to determine the depth of the decay and advise the level of treatment required. For small holes, your general dentist can place a filling that will minimise the risk of further decay, infections, and bacteria build-up.
