Caring for Your Tooth-Colored Fillings
Proper care helps extend the life of your fillings and protects your overall oral health. Follow these easy guidelines to keep your restorations in great shape:
Practice Good Oral Hygiene Every Day
Brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste helps protect your teeth from decay around your fillings. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent unnecessary wear on your restorations. Daily flossing is essential to remove plaque and food debris between teeth, while an antibacterial mouthwash can add extra protection. Remember to change your toothbrush every few months to keep it effective.
Be Mindful of Hard or Crunchy Foods
Although composite fillings are durable, excessive pressure can cause them to wear down or crack. Avoid chewing ice, hard candies, or non-food objects like pens or bottle caps. If you grind or clench your teeth, let us know—our team can provide a custom night guard to help protect your fillings and natural teeth.
Keep Up with Regular Dental Visits
Routine dental check-ups allow your dentist to monitor the condition of your fillings and catch any concerns early. Professional cleanings remove hardened plaque that brushing alone cannot eliminate, helping keep your teeth and fillings healthy. At Dentistry On Derry, we focus on preventive care to ensure your restorations stay secure and your smile stays strong.
With consistent care and regular dental visits, tooth-colored fillings can last for many years, helping you maintain a bright, healthy smile you’ll love to show off
