So have you ever wondered what dental resin is? Well my name is Michelle and I am a dental
assistant with Solutionz and I'm here to explain to you exactly what dental resin is. It is
pretty much the dental terminology for a filling. Sometimes the resin can be different colors
and therefore the dentist would be able to match it up to your normal tooth color but
the purpose of it, it is a plastic base material and it actually fills your tooth on where
you either have a hole in your tooth or you had cavities and the dentist needs to remove
the decay and then he needs to fill it in with what we call resin. So it is pretty much
what you would do then, also too it can be used as an actual complete filling material
or it could be used as a base liner in a filling material. Sometimes what the dentist will
do is he will mix the filling with glass ionimer which glass ionimer has fluoride in it so
it is actually going to sooth the tooth. He will use that as a base liner into the filling
and then he will fill it up completely with a different type of resin or actually possibly
the same exact kind of resin but pretty much dental resin is another term, it is another
dental terminology known as a dental filling. Once again my name is Michelle and I'm a dental
assistant with Solutionz and I just explained to you what dental resin is.
