Lone Tree Dentist loose dental fillings

Loose Dental filling

Some of our Lone Tree Colorado dental patients feel that if a dental filling is loose but has not fallen out it is OK. Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth. Actually if the filling fell out all the way ... it may... be easier to keep clean and free of cavity causing bacteria. Lone Tree dentist Dr. H. Candace DeLapp and Dr. James DeLapp provide general and family dental services for their patients in the Highlands Ranch, Castle Pines, Ken Caryl, Parker, Centennial, Denver and Greenwood Village area of the Denver Metro area.

Loose dental fillings at your teeth cleaning appointment

Our Lone Tree dentist find loose fillings that patients are not aware of a your regular dental cleaning appointment. Some times we are able to loosen it further with the scalers or ultrasonic cleaning devices we employ to clean your teeth. For the most part if we wish to remove an old dental filling we need to drill it would not simply scrape it out. It is not a good thing we found a loose filling... it is a great thing! Slightly loose filling in time can get significant decay under them so early identification of them is important.

Importance of regular dental check-ups

Regular dental check-ups can detect these loose filling and some many other early symptoms of dental disease. Of course the health of your gums (periodintal tissue) is vital for keeping your teeth for a life-time. In addition, our Lone Tree dentist use fluoride treatment on all of our patients. Studies have shown that adult fluoride use decreases root decay and recurrent decay in the adult population.
