The correct phrase would be that "Tooth filling prevent further progression of the cavity in the affected tooth." None of the filling material has the ability to protect the teeth from the attack of bacteria. But filling the teeth with a restorative material and that too after proper removal of debris can definitely prevent further progression of the cavity in the concerned tooth. 

While the other teeth in the oral cavity are concerned, the filling has no effect on cavity progression. Only proper oral hygiene can prevent the progression of caries. It simply holds no other substitute. Less the proliferation of bacteria in the oral cavity less will be the incidence of caries.

A filling is a way to restore a tooth damaged by decay back to its normal function and shape. When a dentist gives you a filling, he or she first removes the decayed tooth material, cleans the affected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with a filling material. By closing off spaces where bacteria can enter, a filling also helps prevent further decay. Materials used for fillings include gold, porcelain, a composite resin (tooth-colored fillings), and an amalgam (an alloy of mercury, silver, copper, tin and sometimes zinc).

Yes, it does.

Our mouth is full of bacteria, which release acid. This acid wears the teeth down, and eventually causes decay. Over a period of time, tooth decay causes holes in the teeth, which is what cavities are.

Tooth filling is a process where plaque build up is cleaned up, and all the bacteria are drilled out. The tooth is then refilled by a hard, tooth like material. This acts as a barrier, and prevents further regression of teeth.

No, it can't. When you fill your tooth which has a cavity it does not prevent it.  This is because the cavity is in the filling and cannot be prevented but it only hides the cavity in them. Cavities can be brought about by taking sugary foods and not brushing your tooth well.

Even if the dentist removed decay from the inside the cavity, the hole itself would present a problem for the tooth. By filling in the hole, dentists restore full functionality to a damaged tooth. Fillings prevent bacteria from building up inside cavities.

Yes, a tooth filling can help to prevent further tooth decay. By filling a cavity, the remaining tooth structure is protected from bacteria and other substances that may cause further decay. Additionally, filling a cavity prevents the existing decay from progressing and causing further damage to the tooth and surrounding tissues.

Yes, tooth filling can prevent tooth cavity from progressing by filling in the damaged or decayed area of the tooth, stopping the decay and protecting the tooth from further damage. However, maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups are still important to prevent new cavities from forming.

The situation varies from person to person. Some people may feel that tooth filling prevents tooth cavity due to the extra tartar resistance that it provides and the increased British water content in the teeth. Others may feel that it does not perform this role as the tartar resistance within the teeth is similar to that of the surrounding teeth, making it difficult to form smile with teeth that are in good condition. In any case, it is important to check with a professional about the specific concerns that you are feeling and determine what, if any, dental treatment may be necessary.

Fillings are designed to restore teeth that have been damaged by decay. This treatment also prevents future decay and stops bacteria from furthering deteriorating your tooth.

A filling is a method for reestablishing a tooth harmed by rot back to its generally expected capability and shape. At the point when a dental specialist gives you a filling, the individual in question first eliminates the rotted tooth material, cleans the impacted region, and afterward fills the cleared out hole with a filling material. By shutting off spaces where microscopic organisms can enter, a filling likewise forestalls further rot. Materials utilized for fillings incorporate gold, porcelain, a composite tar (tooth-shaded fillings), and a combination (a compound of mercury, silver, copper, tin and once in a while zinc)

Tooth filling serve as protective barriers halting the progression of tooth cavities by sealing damaged area. Their presence reinforces dental integrity, thwarting further decay and preserving overall oral health.
