Fillings Leaking
What is Fillings Leaking?
Fillings leaking occurs when a dental filling fails to seal properly, allowing bacteria and food particles to enter the space beneath it. This can result from wear and tear, improper placement, or changes in the tooth structure.
Why Is a Leaking Filling Dangerous?
Leaking fillings often don’t cause pain until the problem has progressed. However, if left untreated, the damage can become significant. This can cause Tooth Decay and Sensitivity and can weaken your tooth structure.
Leaking fillings don’t just threaten the integrity of the tooth—they can lead to costly and painful treatments if the problem isn’t caught early.
What Can Be Done?
The good news is that leaking fillings can be detected early and treated before they cause more serious problems. Through regular check ups can see if there are early signs of leaking fillings. Removal and replacement of old filling can also save you from having more invasive procedures.

If you’ve had fillings in the past, it’s important to keep an eye on them and schedule regular dental checkups. A quick visit could be the difference between a simple filling replacement and much more extensive dental work down the road.
