Although tooth decay is preventable, it remains a major dental problem today. More people are plagued by cavities than any other dental issue. By being diligent with your oral hygiene and scheduling routine dental cleanings, you can help keep this problem in check to enjoy strong, healthy teeth. If decay is detected during a dental exam, your Garland, Texas, dentist can provide prompt and effective treatment with dental fillings. At Kings Dental, we treat cavities the modern way with mercury-free dental fillings.

In short, mercury-free composite dental fillings treat cavities discreetly, pose no risk to your gums or teeth, and provide long-lasting protection against future decay and infections to keep your smile healthy long-term. These qualities and more make them the perfect option for your cavity treatment.
With proper care, composite fillings can last up to 10 years before needing to be replaced. You care for your fillings the same way you care for your teeth – through daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental cleanings. Good oral hygiene habits minimize plaque and bacteria build-up that can lead to cavities. If you habitually bite your nails, chew on ice or other hard objects or use your teeth like tools, you’ll need to stop these bad habits to protect your fillings and teeth. If you grind your teeth at night, we recommend wearing a night guard to reduce the risk of damage to your fillings.
