FAQs about Lost Fillings
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my filling falls out?
If you lose a filling, call South Beach Dental immediately to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, keep the area clean and avoid chewing on that side. You can use dental wax or sugar-free gum to cover the exposed tooth if it’s causing sensitivity, but don’t attempt to fix it yourself. Our team will replace your filling quickly, preventing further damage or discomfort.
How long can I wait before replacing a lost filling?
It’s important to address a lost filling as soon as possible. Delaying treatment increases the risk of infection, decay, or damage to the tooth. Bacteria can enter the exposed area, leading to more serious complications that may require a root canal or even extraction. At South Beach Dental, we prioritize timely care to protect your tooth.
Will it hurt to replace my lost filling?
Replacing a lost filling is typically a straightforward and painless procedure. At South Beach Dental, we use local anesthesia to numb the area, ensuring you remain comfortable throughout the process. Most patients report little to no discomfort during the treatment, and our team takes every step to make sure your experience is stress-free.
Why did my filling fall out?
Fillings can fall out due to several reasons, such as decay around the filling, wear and tear, or trauma to the tooth. Poor oral hygiene or biting into hard objects can also cause a filling to become loose. At South Beach Dental, we’ll assess the cause and recommend the best solution for restoring your tooth.
Can I eat after getting a new filling?
After receiving a new filling, it’s best to avoid eating for at least a couple of hours, especially if you’ve been numbed for the procedure. Once the numbness wears off, you can resume normal eating, but avoid hard or sticky foods for a day or two to allow the filling to set properly.
Are there different types of fillings?
Yes, there are different materials used for fillings, including composite resin, amalgam, and ceramic. At South Beach Dental, we primarily use tooth-colored composite fillings for a natural look. We’ll discuss the best option based on your specific needs.
How long does a new filling last?
A filling can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, depending on the material used and your oral care routine. At South Beach Dental, we ensure that your filling is placed correctly and use durable materials to extend its lifespan. Regular dental check-ups are also essential to maintain your filling’s condition.
What happens if I don’t replace a lost filling?
Ignoring a lost filling can lead to severe complications, such as further decay, infection, and even tooth loss. The exposed tooth is vulnerable to bacteria, which can spread and cause more damage. South Beach Dental recommends replacing lost fillings promptly to avoid these issues.
Can I prevent my fillings from falling out?
While fillings naturally wear over time, you can minimize the risk of losing one by practicing good oral hygiene, avoiding hard or sticky foods, and attending regular dental check-ups. At South Beach Dental, we offer preventive care to keep your fillings and overall dental health in top condition.
How much does it cost to replace a lost filling?
The cost of replacing a lost filling depends on the type of material used and the complexity of the procedure. At South Beach Dental, we provide affordable and transparent pricing, ensuring you know all costs upfront. We also offer payment plans and accept a variety of health funds to make your treatment accessible.
