A dental filling can break or fall out due to several reasons:
- New decay forming around the filling.
- Chewing on hard or sticky foods.
- Grinding or clenching (bruxism).
- Accidental trauma or biting impact.
- Acidic or sugary diets weakening the restoration.
If your filling breaks or dislodges, it’s vital to act fast. The exposed area can trap food, bacteria, and debris, leading to infection or further damage. Contact our emergency team immediately to prevent complications.
When a filling breaks or falls out, the unprotected tooth surface becomes vulnerable to:
- Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Rapid tooth decay or infection.
- Gum irritation and pain.
- Further structural damage that may require advanced treatment.
If left untreated, the decay can progress to the tooth’s inner layers, leading to the need for a root canal or even extraction.
Our emergency dentists will examine the damaged tooth and replace the filling immediately using high-quality resin or dental cement. We match the filling shade to your natural teeth for a seamless finish.
We use composite resin fillings that are both durable and aesthetic, blending naturally with your teeth while protecting them from future decay.
For more significant damage, we may recommend a custom inlay or onlay. These restorations are created in a dental laboratory for a perfect fit and enhanced strength, giving your tooth renewed function and appearance.
After a filling replacement, mild sensitivity may occur for a short period. To ensure smooth recovery:
- Avoid hard or sticky foods for 24 hours.
- Rinse with warm salt water to keep the area clean.
- Brush and floss gently around the treated area.
- Contact us if pain persists or the filling feels loose.
Our team will provide personalised care instructions to help you maintain long-term dental health.
