ABOUT COMPOSITE FILLING IN TURKEY
For the composite tooth fill by dentist in Turkey procedure will start by the dentist giving the patient local anesthetic to numb the area. A small dental drill will be used to remove the decay or any weak part of the tooth. Then the dentist will clean the tooth by blowing water and air onto the tooth. The tooth will be dried and then etched with a mild acid, which will help the filling material to firmly adhere to the tooth. The next step is for dental cement to be applied to coat the surface of the tooth before inserting the composite material. This will be pushed into the tooth cavity and then shaped as needed. Then the dentist will shine a bright light inside the mouth, which will activate and harden the material. Finally the tooth will be trimmed and polished for a new fresh finish.
