Generally speaking, the color of inlay filling is very similar to that of teeth. It looks beautiful and natural, and is a good way to fill teeth.

For children after root canal treatment, inlay is a good choice. It can change the stress surface of teeth and reduce the probability of tooth fracture.

Since inlay filling has so many advantages, I don't know how long it can last? What should we do if the inlay accidentally falls off during use? With these questions, let's look down.

How long can inlay filling last?

The inlay filling can generally last for more than 10 years;

The service life of inlays is generally related to their own maintenance. If you do not pay attention to oral hygiene, it may take 2-3 years to replace it;

If you brush your teeth correctly in the morning and evening every day, rinse your mouth after meals, do not eat anything too hard, too sweet or too sticky, and develop good oral hygiene, the service life is generally more than 10 years or longer.

After seeing the service life and precautions of inlay fillings, it is inevitable that accidents will occur, such as eating too hard things, or the hospital can not help you stick firmly, resulting in the inlay falling off; What should I do?

No problem. After reading the following content, you will know what to do in this situation.

If the inlay is accidentally dropped, can it still be used?

If the inlay falls off accidentally, the detached part of the inlay remains and can usually be used again.

The inlay is attached to the tooth defect by adhesive. If the inlay falls off within less than a year, do not throw it away. It is recommended that you go to a regular hospital and ask the doctor to glue the detached inlay back for you, and then continue to use it.

If you accidentally swallow the inlay into your stomach, it depends on what the material is. General materials have no effect on the body and will be excreted with feces, but you may need to go to the hospital to make a inlay.

In general, the service life of inlays varies from person to person, which has a lot to do with their own maintenance, but it is also important to choose a regular hospital;

I suggest you go to a regular hospital when you need dental fillings and inlays. It is less likely to find a doctor with mature skills to do inlay shedding.
