How to Take Care of Your Dental Filling

If you’ve lost a filling, your first step should be to call our Emergency Dental Boise office at (208) 266-7721—especially if you're in pain or notice any other issues. Our caring team is ready to assist and will schedule your visit as soon as possible.

During your appointment, we’ll examine the affected tooth and discuss the best treatment options with you. Whether it’s replacing the filling or opting for a more durable restoration like a crown, we’ll help you choose the solution that fits your needs.


Proper care helps your dental fillings last longer and protects your overall oral health. Here’s how to keep them in great shape:

  • Brush Twice Daily: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean your teeth and fillings gently.

  • Floss Every Day: Clean between your teeth to prevent decay around the edges of your fillings.

  • Avoid Hard or Sticky Foods: Chewing ice, hard candy, or sticky snacks can crack or dislodge a filling.

  • Don’t Grind Your Teeth: If you clench or grind at night, talk to your dentist about a custom night guard to protect your fillings.

  • Limit Sugary and Acidic Foods: These can wear down fillings and promote decay around them.

  • Visit Your Dentist Regularly: Routine checkups help detect problems early and keep fillings intact.

  • Report Changes Immediately: If you feel sensitivity, pain, or notice a loose filling, contact your dentist right away.

    Tip: With proper care, most fillings can last 5–15 years or more, depending on the material and oral habits.
