Question regarding tooth filling, how do they do to fill the tooth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: After the decay is removed the tooth is filled depending upon what material is used to fill it. It could be filled with gold, porcelain, composite, or amalgam. Each procedure is different and it may or may not be bonded.
