Tooth Fillings are restorative material used to fill in the decayed tooth ( after caries excavation ) or to build up a broken tooth which enhances the esthetics and strength of the tooth structure and prevents further tooth decay.
Dental filling is a procedure to restore the integrity, function, morphology, and esthetics of missing tooth structure resulting from dental caries or external trauma

Will my filling break if I eat anything hard?
No. We, at Excel Dental Care, use the most superior Composite restoration which is the strongest filling material and is durable
What happens if tooth decay is left untreated?
Tooth decay weakens your tooth enamel, if left untreated then it advances to the dentin causing tooth sensitivity and pain. Then, the decay furthermore progresses resulting in a stage where a simple tooth filling will not save the tooth. Advanced progression of decay has to be treated by Root Canal Therapy which would cost you a lot more.
Thus at the initial stage of the tooth decay, fillings or restorations are advised.
THE TOOTH DOESN’T REPAIR ON ITS OWN. Tooth filling has to be done to prevent the spread of caries.
