## What are the fillings made of?

Fillings at Kashyap Dental & Aesthetics are tooth-coloured composite, for both back and front teeth.

## When is a filling not enough?

Tooth decay can infect the soft part inside the tooth (the pulp). Root canal treatment then removes the infected pulp; without it, the tooth may need to be taken out ([NHS](https://www.nhs.uk/tests-and-treatments/root-canal-treatment/)). Treating a cavity while a filling is enough costs less: a back-tooth filling is NPR 1,500–2,500, while [root canal treatment in Butwal](https://kashyapdental.com.np/root-canal) costs NPR 10,000 (single visit) or NPR 8,000–12,000 (multiple visits).

## Signs a tooth may need more than a filling

- Lasting toothache
- Pain on biting
- Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers
- Swelling or a pimple on the gum
- A darkened tooth

## How common is tooth decay in Nepal?

WHO estimates for Nepal (2019) show untreated decay in 51.2% of milk teeth (children aged 1–9) and 31.5% of permanent teeth (ages 5 and over) ([WHO Nepal oral health profile, 2022](https://www.who.int/publications/m/item/oral-health-npl-2022-country-profile)).
