A cavity is a small hole in a tooth caused by decay — acid from plaque bacteria gradually wears away enamel. A filling removes the decayed portion and replaces it with a durable material that restores the tooth’s function. The Cleveland Clinic explains that cavities are one of the most common chronic conditions in both children and adults, and that early treatment is far simpler than waiting until decay spreads. The American Dental Association notes that composite fillings bond directly to the tooth and are shaded to match, so they blend in seamlessly.
Many first-time patients aren’t sure what the visit itself involves, so here’s a quick rundown: after your exam and X-ray confirm a cavity, we’ll numb the area with a local anesthetic so the procedure is comfortable. Most patients feel pressure but not pain. Once the decayed material is removed and the tooth is prepped, the filling itself typically takes only 15 to 30 minutes to place, shape, and bond. Numbness usually wears off within two to four hours, so we recommend waiting until then before eating on that side of your mouth. Mild sensitivity to hot or cold for a few days afterward is normal and typically fades on its own.
As one of the county’s largest communities, we see a wide range of situations that call for a filling, including:
Because Glen Burnie is home to such a wide range of patients — from young families to longtime retirees — we see the full spectrum of filling and restorative needs. A filling generally works well when a cavity is caught early or a small existing filling needs replacing. When decay has weakened a large portion of the tooth, a crown is often the more durable choice. If decay has reached the inner nerve and caused infection or persistent pain, a root canal is typically needed first. Your consultation will include an honest discussion of which option best matches your situation.
Rather than traveling into Baltimore or Annapolis for restorative work, most patients prefer staying close to home. That means:
