When you have a toothache, the last thing you should do is try to ignore it or put up with the pain. Not only is this quite unbearable, but it could end up causing even larger, long-term problems. To remedy a chipped, broken, or decaying tooth, composite fillings may be required. Brian S. Kubo, DDS of Kamuela, HI, is here to share a couple of key facts that everyone should know about fillings:
