π¦· Can You Get Cavities Under Fillings?
Yes! Even with a filling, decay can form around or beneath it if bacteria sneak in. This usually happens when:
- Fillings wear down or crack
- Plaque builds up around the edges
- Oral hygiene isnβt consistent
Prevention tips:
β
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
β
Floss carefully around fillings
β
Limit sugary snacks
β
See your dentist regularly
Old fillings donβt stop new cavities β keeping your teeth clean is key! π
