There are many people who, on occasion, have to resort to dental fillings<\/strong>. The reason is that, due to the accumulation of bacterial plaque <\/strong>in the mouth, what we call cavities <\/strong>are produced, and these must be eliminated. Despite being a painless process<\/strong>, there can be pain after a filling.<\/p>\n

But exactly\u2026 What is a filling or dental filling?<\/strong> Performing a filling consists of removing a cavity and properly cleaning the affected tooth to later fill it with a specialized material.<\/strong> What you want to achieve with this filling is to cover the piece<\/strong> so that the final result is as similar as possible to the tooth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Gross Dentistas, <\/strong>as the vast majority of you already know, we are professional dentists and, therefore, we also perform dental fillings in any of our clinics.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why does a dental filling hurt?<\/h2>\n

As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, a dental filling, as a general rule, is painless. However, depending on the depth of the caries, anesthesia<\/strong> will be applied or not, in order to avoid discomfort during treatment.<\/p>\n

But\u2026 Is there pain after a filling? The answer is yes, it does not always happen, but there may be pain after a filling, since the treated area is sensitized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, if this discomfort lasts for more than three or four days<\/strong>, we recommend that you go to our dental clinic so that we can see the reason and thus find a solution.<\/p>\n

Types of filling to make a dental filling<\/h3>\n

When performing a dental filling, it is necessary to resort to specialized material to proceed with the filling of the piece. This material can be of three different types<\/strong>, and it will be the specialist<\/strong> who decides which one to use.<\/p>\n
