Filling is used to restore a damaged tooth back to its normal shape and function. While giving filling, a dentist normally first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected are and then fills out cleaned cavity with a filling.
Filling also prevents further decay. The materials used for fillings include composite resin, porcelain, gold and an amalgam.
