Dr. Tracey Williams stands out as a four-time Top Dentist as determined by Indianapolis Monthly's selective peer-review process. Inside your mouth, carbohydrates in the food you eat react to your natural oral bacteria to become acid. This acid combines with lingering food particles, saliva, and bacteria to create plaque, which sticks to teeth and wears away the enamel, resulting in a hole or cavity in the surface of the tooth. To keep the decay from progressing and harming the underlying structure of the tooth, your dentist will perform a filling. He or she will first numb the area with a local anesthetic and subsequently remove the infected portion of the enamel with a dental drill. The dentist will then clean the newly exposed surface and place the filling material using a very thin and precise instrument that resembles a needle. After hardening the filling using ultraviolet light, the dentist will shape the filling so that you can bite comfortably. Comments are closed.
