Some bacteria in the mouth can trigger acid formation due to food consumption. Acids dissolve the existing mineral tissue of the tooth and destroy the enamel of the tooth, causing the onset of tooth decay.
A decayed tooth is often easily recognized by its dark appearance. In some cases, it may not be easily noticed; it can only be diagnosed with the dentist's assistive diagnostic tools (such as a dental x-ray). Pain in decayed teeth is an important symptom that requires consulting a dentist. The severity of pain, which varies from person to person, can be eliminated with treatment. However, in cases where the bruise is not treated, the pain continues for a while.
A filling method is applied to restore functionality to a tooth damaged by caries. During the filling, primarily the decayed tooth tissue is removed, the affected area is cleaned and the related cavity is filled with filling material. The progress of the caries is prevented with the filling made in order not to recognize any area where the bacteria can enter.

Different types of fillings are also available for anterior and posterior tooth regions. In this way, they can be easily applied to all teeth in the mouth.
