A Hong Kong dentist's WhatsApp answers questions about fillings
When to get a filling
The timing of a filling usually depends on the extent of tooth damage and the symptoms.
Tooth decay
When cavities appear on the surface of teeth, especially if you feel pain or discomfort when eating sweets, you should consider getting your teeth filled.
Cracked or missing teeth
If a tooth breaks due to an impact or biting a hard object, it should be filled to prevent further damage, even if there is no pain.
Old filling material has fallen off or is damaged
If a previously filled tooth has become loose or worn, it should be refilled to maintain its function.

dental filling process
Dental filling process in Hong Kong in 2025
A dental filling at Excelsior Dental Centre typically involves the following steps:
Common problems with fillings
During the filling process, we use anesthesia to ensure that the patient experiences minimal pain and discomfort. Our dentists will explain the entire filling procedure in detail before treatment, ensuring the patient fully understands each step and answering any questions. This effectively reduces the patient's anxiety and increases their comfort and confidence during the treatment.
After a filling, patients should avoid eating hard or sticky foods, maintain good oral hygiene, and attend regular follow-up checkups as advised by their dentist. This will help ensure the filling lasts and maintains stable oral health.
Teeth cleaning uses ultrasonic vibrations, which will not damage the enamel. Widening of the gaps between teeth is a normal phenomenon after tartar is removed.
The time required for a filling depends on the location and complexity of the cavity. Generally, a single tooth filling may be completed within an hour, while more complex cases may require multiple treatments.
After a filling, patients should avoid eating immediately, as advised by their dentist. Typically, on the day of the filling, patients should choose softer foods to avoid irritating the teeth.
牙齒敏感：補牙後牙齒可能對冷、熱或咬合壓力敏感，通常屬暫時性。
填充物鬆脫或破裂：隨時間或咬合壓力，補牙材料可能鬆動或斷裂，需要重新修補。
二次蛀牙：若補牙邊緣密合度不足，容易藏污納垢，導致再次蛀牙。
牙齒顏色不一致：樹脂或複合材料可能隨時間變色，影響美觀。
牙髓炎或牙神經問題：蛀牙過深時，即使補牙，牙神經仍可能受刺激，導致持續疼痛，甚至需要根管治療。
咬合不適：補牙高度或形狀不合適，可能造成咬合不平衡或顳顎關節不適。
