The condition, which you know better known as cavities, results from the interaction between bacteria in the mouth and things like sugar and other types of carbs.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nThe most obvious symptoms of decay include toothache, bad breath, and sensitivity. To help patients who have decay and have experienced these symptoms, our doctors at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronaldmorenodds.com\/\">Moreno Dental<\/a> offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronaldmorenodds.com\/restorative-dentistry.html\">restorative<\/a> service known as <strong>fillings<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>Fillings<\/strong> come in many different varieties. One of the most popular today is made from composite resin. These are often called tooth-colored <strong>fillings<\/strong> because they can be shaded to match the color of teeth. As a result, they don\u2019t stand out the way other types do.\r\n\r\nOther types of <strong>fillings<\/strong> are made metal. These include gold <strong>fillings<\/strong> and amalgam <strong>fillings<\/strong>. Amalgams are made from a wide variety of metals, including mercury.\r\n\r\nAmalgam <strong>fillings<\/strong> have been used by dentist for at least 100 years, but their popularity is fading due to their poor esthetics. Others have raised concerns about them because they contain a small amount of mercury, but they have been ruled to be safe by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ada.org\/\">American Dental Association<\/a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Dr. Moreno<\/strong> and <strong>Dr. Young<\/strong> can help you understand what your needs are and which type of <strong>filling<\/strong> is most right for you. Both amalgam and composite <strong>fillings<\/strong> can be completed in a single visit, bringing your smile back to good health.\r\n\r\nIf you have cavities that need to be treated, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ronaldmorenodds.com\/contact-us.html\">call<\/a> <strong>Moreno Dental<\/strong> to reserve an appointment with our <strong>Bellingham<\/strong> team. We\u2019re happy to provide restorative care to patients from <strong>Ferndale<\/strong>, <strong>Lynden<\/strong>, <strong>Everson<\/strong>, and beyond.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tooth decay is one of the most common oral health conditions patients can face.
