Imagine this situation we see every day. A patient’s teeth have fairly large fillings, large cracks or both. Alternative scenario: the filling is loose or has fallen out, and the patient wants a new filling. Often this will work. But fillings are not always the best solution.
The interesting thing is that cracks and big fillings don’t cause any pain… until it’s too late and the tooth breaks! When this happens, it can be extremely painful, and in some cases there is no other option but to take the offending tooth out.
Teeth are like any other part of the body: they wear out over time with use. Fillings are placed to plug holes to prevent any further damage and to allow us to chew and function normally. However, fillings weaken teeth.
Broken tooth fillings often catch us off guard, as cracks and large fillings may not cause immediate pain. Unfortunately, by the time the tooth breaks, the situation can become extremely painful, sometimes requiring extraction.
Large fillings create risks
While fillings plug holes and prevent further damage, they may not be the ideal long-term solution. Large fillings can weaken teeth over time, increasing the risk of cracks and fractures.
Understanding how fillings can weaken teeth
Fragmentation of Structure
Fillings divide a healthy, untreated tooth into separate parts, altering its natural unity. As we chew, the tooth with a filling may flex in opposite directions, leading to cracks and eventual breaks.
The bigger a flling, the weaker the tooth
A rule of thumb emerges: the larger the filling, the weaker the tooth. Teeth exceeding 60% filling are highly susceptible to future breaks, signalling the need for strengthening.
Strengthening Teeth: The Role of Dental Crowns
Removing Cracks and Old Fillings
The long-term solution involves removing old filling material and addressing cracks. Dentists apply dental crowns or on-lays to strengthen the tooth, transforming it into a single, resilient unit.
