Dental decay happens when the enamel and dentine of a tooth become softened by acid attack, producing a cavity (hole). If you do have decay and need a filling then we recommend white fillings as a good solution that is both aesthetic and functional. With the availability of stronger, more durable white filling materials this is becoming a more viable treatment option for more and more restorations. We can now place white fillings in almost any tooth, the only dictating factor being the size of the filling.<\/p>\n
