Dental Filling in Canada

• A dental filling is a form of treatment that is
  done to repair a tooth that has decayed or
  cracked. A decayed tooth can cause you a lot of
  pain, especially when there is a big cavity. You
  should get a dental filling early enough to stop
  the decay.

• To get a dental filling, the dentist will first
  assess the extent of the decay by looking at it
  or using an X-ray. After the tests are conducted,
  the dentist can then give you the options on
  which filler to use depending on your insurance
  cover or the extent of the decay.
• There are several fillers used for dental filling
  in Canada, but amalgam tops the list because it's

Causes Tooth Decay

• Before we dive deeper into dental filling
  procedures, you need to know the causes of tooth
  decay. Apart from age, what you eat greatly
  affects your teeth. Most decays happen as a
  result of cavities.
• Eating sugary things frequently causes cavities.
  When you eat sugary foods, the bacteria found in
  your mouth mixes with sugar and then release an
  acid that is harmful to your teeth. This acid
  destroys the enamel hence a cavity is formed.

• Other causes of tooth decay are
• Beverages
• Sticky foods
• Poor dental hygiene
• Plaque
• Medical Conditions

How Dentists Carry Out the Dental Filling
Procedure?

• When you go for a tooth feeling, the dentist will
  take the following steps to complete the filling
  procedure
• The dentist will inject the tooth area using
  local anesthesia (lignocaine). This will help you
  not to feel any pain during the procedure. The
  anesthesia can last about 2 hours at most.
• A drill or other instruments will be used to
  remove the decayed part. Most dentists use
  different instruments depending on how equipped
  the facility is or the extent of the decay.
• The dentist tests the tooth to see if the decayed
  area has been removed completely.

8

• After the removal of the decayed part, the
  dentist will clean up the tooth to remove
  bacteria. If the rotten part was near the root,
  the dentist would protect the nerve by putting a
  liner made of composite resin.
• Once the liner is placed, the filling is done,
  and then the dentist shapes the teeth to give it
  a natural look.

Cost for Dental Filling in Canada

• Having a bad tooth can be a very frustrating
  thing. The costs and the pain can cause you a
  psychological trauma. Universal healthcare
  insurance doesn't cover patients for dental
  procedures. However, if you're employed, you
  might be lucky and get covered through your work.
• If you're a university student, you might qualify
  for the cover. Other people who get dental covers
  are those who have qualified for the social
  benefits.
• The cost of tooth filling in Canada can range
  anywhere between 80- 325 depending on the size
  of the filling and the filling material too.

Tips to Save You the High Dental Bill

• Feelings are expensive, especially if you're not
  employed. Below are tips that will help you lower
  the costs of your dental bills
• Develop Healthy Oral Hygiene at home
• The only way you can evade the huge dental bills
  is by taking precautions. Ensure that you brush
  your teeth at least twice a day and also floss.

11

• Eat Healthy Foods
• Eating healthy will protect not only your body
  but also your oral health. Avoid eating sugary
  foods that cause bacteria to build up. Consume
  foods rich in vitamins A, D, and minerals like
  calcium and magnesium. Good nutrition will keep a
  dentist away.
• Visit a Dentist Regularly
• Find a good dentist and befriend him/her. Make it
  a habit of visiting your dentist regularly so
  that he/she can deal with any tooth decay early
  before it gets bigger. Having a reliable dentist
  will help you save on the bills because they will
  discuss with you all the available treatments and
  recommend one that is cost-effective.

12

• Get a Dental Insurance Plan
• Paying for dental bills from your pocket can be
  extremely expensive. Most people avoid checkups
  because they feel they are expensive. Regular
  checkups can indeed be expensive if you pay on a
  cash basis. Getting an insurance cover will save
  you a lot of money because you pay a small amount
  monthly and get broad services. The insurance
  dental plans have been classified into 3-
• Preventive plan
• Orthodontic plan
• Restorative plan

13

• Use DIY Methods
• Gargling with warm salty water kills bacteria,
  therefore, keeping infections away. If you want
  to brighten your teeth, baking soda is good for
  polishing the teeth.
• Dental fillings are strong enough to resist any
  pressure that comes as a result of chewing. The
  dental filling is cheaper compared to root
  canals, and it's also better than a tooth
  extraction. Visit your dentist regularly for
  cleanings and checkups to avoid bigger dental
  problems.
