5 Signs You Might Need a Dental Filling (And Why You Shouldn’t Wait)
Dental fillings are one of the most common treatments we provide at Sun Dental…and for good reason. Catching cavities early and restoring teeth quickly can prevent much bigger problems down the road.
Here are five signs you may need a dental filling:
Tooth Pain or Sensitivity – Especially when eating something hot, cold, or sweet.
Visible Holes or Dark Spots – These can indicate decay that needs treatment.
Rough or Chipped Tooth Surfaces – Sometimes cavities cause the enamel to break.
Food Getting Stuck in the Same Spot – This can mean decay has created a gap.
Previous Fillings That Feel Loose – Old fillings can wear out over time.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Ignoring early signs of a cavity can lead to:
Larger fillings
Root canal treatment
Tooth loss
Gentle, Effective Care
Our team uses modern techniques and materials to make your filling appointment quick, comfortable, and long-lasting.
