Nowadays, there are quite a few materials available for dental filling, including glass ionomer. Since glass ionomer is able to release fluoride which works effectively to prevent secondary caries, it’s quite suitable for fixing children’s teeth. In addition, its price is also very affordable. Though the specific fee cannot be sure until you take a thorough check-up and diagnosis from your dentist, it costs only approximately four hundred in Chinese currency. Of course, the price here is for fixing one tooth alone. 

    According to dentists from AKJ Dental Hospital, glass ionomer is a better material than silver amalgam for dental filling. And its price, a few hundred, won’t practically add a financial burden on everyone. When dental caries happens to children’ s teeth, it’s of great significance to get it filled in time. Otherwise, the caries will only get worse and even lead to a tooth loss ultimately. So much attention should be paid to that. 

    To be noted, glass ionomer is only applicable for mild caries. As for sever cases where caries has moved to dental pulp, it’s not something that glass ionomer can fix, instead you may have to undergo a root canal therapy. With any symptom of tooth cavities, take a thorough check-up from your dentist and seek proper treatment in a timely manner, preventing bigger problems down the road.
