White Fillings

A white filling is one of the most durable methods used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc.  The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a filling that looks like it is part of the tooth.
There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.  You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth. White fillings, also known as composite (tooth colored) fillings, are the most widely used today.
There has been much controversy regarding the mercury that is present in conventional silver fillings.  The FDA has conducted many studies to determine whether mercury containing fillings pose a risk to dental patients, especially children and pregnant women.  Dr. Solomon and CCIND have been on the forefront of this debate and believe that composite fillings are a far better, safer, and more durable solution that silver fillings which contain mercury.  Dr. Solomon was interviewed by Channel 7 news recently regarding this matter.  Please click here to view the news story.
