The days of noticeable metal fillings are disappearing. Cosmetic dentistry now offers white fillings which are matched to the color of your teeth and thus are invisible. Fillings are used to repair cavities, which are caused by the acidic excretions of bacteria. If you suspect you have a cavity, you need to see a dentist as soon as possible.
