If tooth decay is cleaned mechanically, if the microorganisms in the cavity are not cleaned well and disinfected, the caries-causing microorganisms left behind may rot the filled tooth again. In addition, although silver fillings, called amalgam, are still the strongest fillings, since they are mechanically attached to the tooth, bacteria may leak between the filling and the tooth, and new decay can easily form under the filling. White, aesthetic fillings, on the other hand, have a lower risk of creating new cavities under the filling because they adhere to the tooth. However, it should not be forgotten that every filling has a lifespan, and of course, although amalgam fillings are not aesthetic, they are considered the longest-lasting fillings in this respect. Brush your teeth with a toothpaste containing fluoride at least twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, each brushing for 2 minutes. Teeth should be brushed with circular movements, especially in the evening, dental floss should be used (so as not to bleed the gums), liquid mouthwash should be made 2-3 times a day (herbal mouthwash), and sugary foods, acidic and sugary drinks should be avoided. Because sugar is the sweetest poison, just as it causes tooth decay, sugar also feeds cancer.
