Despite the face\ncoverings, social distancing guidelines, and sanitation measures, you manage to\nhave an amazing evening of laughing with friends over a delicious meal. Before\nyou even pull into your driveway, your phone alerts you that pictures from dinner\nhave been uploaded to Facebook. As you scroll through them, your heart sinks to\nyour stomach when you see that photo after photo shows your metal fillings.\nQuickly, you untag yourself and spend the rest of the evening reminding\nyourself to cover your mouth when you laugh or smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that 48% of people have untagged themselves from a picture on social media because they were unhappy with their smile? If dark, distracting spots in your teeth have you feeling insecure, then it is time to speak with your dentist about opting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drtetelman.com\/tooth-colored-fillings.html\">tooth-colored fillings<\/a>. Read on for their benefits, as well as whether metal ones are toxic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are\nTooth-Colored Fillings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Decades prior, patients would opt for metal fillings\nto fill a cavity or hole in their tooth. While effective, the silver or gold\ncolor left behind can prevent your smile from looking seamless. Fortunately,\ndentists today can use tooth-colored fillings, which are made of a composite\nresin, to flawlessly match the color of your smile. That way, patients can get\nthe treatment they need without an unnatural looking result!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 Benefits of\nTooth-Colored Fillings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although tooth-colored fillings are widely loved for\ntheir natural look, they have more benefits than just that! In fact, they can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Effectively address dental issues,\nlike cavities.<\/li><li>Keep more of your natural tooth\nstructure.<\/li><li>Be placed in a single appointment.<\/li><li>Result in less tooth sensitivity\nfor patients.<\/li><li>Provide patients with a\nmercury-free treatment option.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Metal Fillings\nToxic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there is a very small amount of mercury\ncontained in the silver amalgam fillings, many dentists recommend opting for a\ntooth-colored filling instead to protect your oral and overall health. Due to\nyour mouth\u2019s proximity to your brain and the fact that it is the entryway to\nyour digestive tract, the toxins do have the ability to spread throughout your\nbody. Therefore, many patients today choose to replace their metal fillings\nwith tooth-colored ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Between the aesthetic and overall health benefits of\ntooth-colored fillings, it\u2019s easy to see why they are the superior choice. If\nyou still have metal fillings, then make sure to talk to your dentist today\nabout upgrading to tooth-colored ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the\nAuthor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before earning his Doctoral of Dental Surgery Degree\nfrom the New York University College of Dentistry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drtetelman.com\/meet-dr-tetelman.html\">Dr. Dorian Tetelman<\/a>\ncompleted his undergraduate degree from CUNY Queens College.
