BPA- And Tooth-Colored Fillings

You may have heard some worrying things about BPA or Bis-Phenol A, a compound in tooth-colored dental fillings, but don’t rush back to silver amalgam just yet. While it is good to avoid BPA, which has been shown to be endocrine-disrupting and linked to various problems, we don’t have to decide which is the lesser of two evils. We can leave tooth-colored fillings with BPA and the dangers of mercury poisoning that come with amalgam fillings behind because numerous tooth-colored materials are free of BPA. 

Don’t Jump To Replace Your Composite Fillings

If you have BPA-containing fillings, don’t rush to have them removed and replaced with BPA-free fillings, as this would mostly only weaken the teeth and do more harm than good overall. The release of BPA from fillings drops off sharply after the first 24 hours. Ideally, we can get BPA-free fillings in the first place, but if that isn’t possible, we can simply switch to a BPA-free material after the current fillings wear out.

Benefits of VP Dental Fillings

  • Non-toxic – BPA-free fillings are effective restorative materials that do not discharge toxic materials inside your child’s mouth.
  • Natural appearance – VP Dental uses tooth-colored fillings that are the exact color of your kids’ teeth, giving them a natural-looking appearance.
  • Quick fix – BPA-free fillings take only minutes to harden and completely bond with your tooth, using a blue curing light.
  • Strong restoration – Composite fillings are proven to be durable and resistant to fracture. They can last for five to seven years or more with proper dental hygiene.
  • Reduced sensitivity – Our composite fillings bond perfectly with the teeth, sealing the cavities and protecting them from hot and cold foods or drinks.
