The concept of a "filling" is replacing and restoring your tooth structure that is damaged due to decay or fracture with a material.
We have several materials to choose from to suit any situation. Eliminate the dark, black appearance in your teeth with new-age, state-of-the-art, tooth-colored resin or porcelain materials. A root canal is a procedure that extracts dying pulp from the central part of the tooth, reshapes the canal and replaces it with biocompatible filler. A cavity is the result of superficial decay of the enamel of the tooth.
Left long enough, this decay can burrow into the deeper reaches of the tooth, causing extensive damage to tooth structure. When the damage goes beyond what can be treated with a filling, dentists can perform a root canal or endodontics , preserving the tooth and retaining its original integrity; thereby, saving a tooth that in the past would have to have been pulled. Your third molars are more commonly called "wisdom teeth.
