Yes, it’s possible to get cavities even if you have tooth fillings. So how do cavities develop under fillings?
Key takeaways:
– If you grind your teeth or brush too aggressively, the fillings get damaged, thus exposing teeth to food and bacteria.
– If the dentist doesn’t place the seal properly, food particles and bacteria will hide between your teeth and the seal.
– Protect your fillings and teeth from cavities by observing top-notch oral hygiene and seeing the dentist regularly for checkups.
Give the best care to your fillings by following all instructions from the dentist.
