Signs It’s Time for a Filling Replacement

filling replacement

If you’ve had fillings done in the past, there may come a point when you need to have them replaced. Larry Saylor, DMD and his team offer filling replacement in Brandon, Florida, and the process is actually fairly quick and easy. If you have fillings, it’s important to know the signs that they need to be replaced so you can get them taken care of promptly. Here are some of the indications that you might need a filling replacement.

Sensitivity

For most people, the first sign that they need a filling replacement is a feeling of extra sensitivity in their tooth. You are most likely to notice it when you are eating hot or cold foods, but you might also notice it when you brush your teeth or when you bite into an item that is particularly tough or chewy. In the worst cases, an old filling can lead to a painful toothache. If this happens to you, it’s time to get your filling replaced right away.

Dark Spots

When a filling starts to disintegrate, it can result in a dark spot on your teeth or around your gums. Not only are these unpleasant to look at, but they are usually a sign that your tooth has become infected or damaged in some way because the filling has worn down. You should always contact our dentist right away if you notice any drastic color changes in your teeth.

Rough Teeth

Your teeth should normally feel smooth – that’s a sign that they are healthy and clean. Pay attention to how your teeth feel when you are brushing and flossing. If you notice a new, rough patch, this is usually an indication that your filling has started to wear down. This is the perfect time to get a filling replacement – before you start to experience more drastic oral health issues.

Fillings typically don’t last forever, and it’s very normal to have to get one replaced after a certain amount of time. The good news is that the technology we use to create and implement fillings is always improving, so the fillings you get now are going to last longer than fillings from the past. To see if you need a filling replacement, make an appointment at the office of Larry Saylor, DMD in Brandon, FL. Contact us today to schedule your evaluation.
