Restorations
Filling Materials
When a tooth gets a cavity it must be filled or it will continue to decay and get worse – even to the point of death.
What kind of materials are available to fix holes in teeth?
The most common material for about a century has been silver and copper mixed with mercury with a little tin. This mixture is called amalgam or simply silver filling.

When children have lots of very large cavities and they are too young to hold still while hours are spent fixing the cavites, what do you do?
A child from Molalla came to the Oregon City office recently with just such a problem.
This little boy had cavities on almost every one of his baby teeth and most of the decay was very close to the pulp nerve tissue and probably needing baby root canals (pulpotomies).
