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 Qi Ren Dental Center 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.
