What is Dental fillings?
'''Dental fillings,''' or Dental restoration, is the work of [[Dentistry|dentists]] repairing teeth. For a filling the dentist has to remove [[decay]] with a drill, a [[laser]] or [[air abrasion]]. Air abrasion is a bit like [[sand blasting]]. Then the hole must be filled, usually with [[Amalgam (dentistry)|amalgam]]. There are different kinds of fillings.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|title=Your Teeth and Cavities|url=https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/dental-health-cavities|access-date=2023-05-01|website=WebMD|language=en}}</ref> For some problems [[inlays]] and onlays, [[Crowns (dental)|crowns]], [[Bridges (dental)|bridges]], and [[Veneers (dental)|veneers]] may be used. If the tooth has been removed it may be replaced by a [[Dental implant|''d''ental implant]] which is fixed into the [[jaw]], or by a [[Dentures|denture]] (false teeth), which may be fixed to the remaining teeth or may be removeable. ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Dentistry]]
