Dental Fillings in Watford

A cavity (caused by a disease called caries) happens when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that attack your teeth.

In time, this acid can dissolve away the enamel on your teeth and cause a hole, which is known as a cavity.

Unlike some other diseases or injuries, a cavity will not heal on its own.

However, if the early signs of dental decay are promptly treated before a cavity forms, it can be stopped and even reversed by your dentist.

Composite is a mixture of acrylic resin and powdered glass-like particles that produce a tooth-coloured filling.

This type of material may be self-hardening or may be hardened by exposure to blue light.

Composite is used for fillings, inlays and veneers.
