While dental fillings are generally safe and routine procedures, there are some risks to be aware of. These include allergic reactions to filling materials, damage to the tooth nerve, and potential for the filling to fall out or become loose. Your dentist will discuss the potential risks and benefits of fillings with you and determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.

Getting a dental bridge typically involves a numbing injection to prevent pain or discomfort during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild soreness or sensitivity after the bridge is placed, but this should go away within a few days. Your dentist may recommend over-the-counter pain relief medication to manage any discomfort.

Once you get used to your dental bridge, you should be able to eat most foods normally. However, it is recommended to avoid sticky or hard foods that could damage or dislodge the bridge. Your dentist may also recommend avoiding certain foods or providing specific care instructions to help maintain the bridge and keep it in good condition.

A root canal is a dental treatment that is used to repair and save a tooth that is infected or damaged. The procedure involves removing the infected or inflamed tissue from inside the tooth, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and filling them with a material to prevent further infection.

A root canal can save a damaged or infected tooth from needing to be extracted, which can help to maintain the natural appearance and function of your teeth. Root canal treatment can also relieve pain and prevent the spread of infection to other teeth or the jawbone.
