A filling replaces part of a tooth that has been lost because of decay or accidental damage.
Unlike silver (amalgam) fillings, white fillings stick to teeth so they can be used to repair teeth which have been chipped, broken or decayed. They can sometimes be used in back teeth if there is not too much decay or damage. You will probably hear the dentist talk about "composite" or "glass ionomer". These are just different types of white filling.
