Condition
Lost Filling
Overview
A lost filling occurs when a dental filling, designed to restore a damaged or decayed tooth, becomes dislodged or falls out entirely.
This condition exposes the affected tooth to potential further damage, often requiring prompt attention.
Several factors can cause a filling to loosen or fall out. Common reasons include wear and tear over time, biting down on hard foods, or trauma to the tooth. Poor oral hygiene can also weaken the bond between the filling and the tooth, increasing the likelihood of detachment. Additionally, fillings may fail due to decay forming beneath them or from the natural expansion and contraction of the material caused by temperature changes. Lost fillings are a common dental concern that requires professional evaluation to address effectively.
A lost filling exposes the sensitive inner tooth, leading to discomfort, increased vulnerability to decay, and potential pain when chewing.
This condition can cause anxiety, worsen oral health, and disrupt daily activities until properly addressed.
At New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics, we provide prompt, expert care for lost fillings, offering emergency appointments for urgent issues. Our experienced team thoroughly examines the affected tooth to assess any damage and recommend the best solution. Using high-quality materials, we often restore your tooth with durable fillings that ensure long-lasting protection. We focus on patient comfort and provide gentle care, ensuring that any concerns about lost fillings are addressed efficiently, restoring both function and confidence.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed to have a tooth extracted and was not looking forward to the event. As it turned out Rav & his dental nurse carried out the procedure very efficiently and left me wondering what my concerns were all about!! I was also very impressed to receive a follow-up call the next day from the Dental reception enquiring about my health which thankfully was fine following the extraction.

All the staff were friendly and the dentist I saw was very professional and made me feel at ease. From the moment the dental nurse called my name I felt I was in good hands. I have full confidence in this dental practice and would highly recommend.
