15 Jan How Can Cavities Develop Beneath a Filling?

Most fillings will last a lifetime without any major issues. Still, it may be possible to develop a cavity even if a filling is present. What are some of the reasons why your teeth could be at risk?

Let us take a look at three common situations which a dentist can evaluate.

• A cracked filling can cause a cavity to form.
• Spaces between the tooth and the filling can trap food and debris.
• Improper brushing and flossing techniques are another “root” issue.

This is why you should see a dentist regularly, to catch complications like this.
