What are the steps to get amalgam teeth?
Amalgam fillings are typically placed in one appointment with
your dentist. Since the tooth is numb, your dentist will eliminate decay as essential. The space will then be carefully washed and cautiously equipped before the new filling is located. If the deterioration was near the nerve of the tooth, a special medicine will be applied for added protection. The amalgam filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, reinstating your tooth to its original shape and purpose. |
