| When teeth are decayed, they need to be
filled. Traditionally, a "silver" or "amalgam"
filling was and is still used to fill the cavity. Through advances
made in
dental material, nowadays we are able to fill cavities using
"white" or "tooth-colored" fillings. These
fillings mimic the natural shade of the tooth, are practically undetectable
and provide excellent function for many years.
