A filling is used to treat a small hole, or cavity, in a tooth. To repair a cavity, a dentist removes the decayed tooth tissue and then fills the space with a filling material. Dental filling treatment is the process of filling the cavity resulting from cleaning the decayed tooth with a material compatible with the tooth. Filling is applied to decayed and broken teeth. In cases of inflammation in the gums, pregnancy and breastfeeding periods, filling should not be applied without the approval of the doctor.
