Do dentists fill cavities same day as cleaning?

Question

I need to get my teeth cleaned and I suspect I might have a cavity or two. I was wondering if dentists typically do fillings on the same day as a cleaning appointment, or if they usually schedule it for a separate visit. Trying to plan my day.

It depends on the hospital schedule and how deep the cavities are. In the hospital I visit, they usually check your schedule and can do both together if you ask them in advance.

Rajesh Nair · Answer

If you want to save on sitting charges or consultation fees, ask them to do it on the same day. Many clinics will agree to it if you book a longer slot beforehand.

I know how stressful dental visits can be, and wanting to get everything over with in one go is totally understandable. Just talk to your dentist; if your gums aren't too sensitive after cleaning, they can usually do the filling right away.

Nisha Shah · Answer

They can, but make sure to eat a light, healthy meal before going since you might not be able to chew easily for a few hours after the filling. Let the clinic know your preference.

Haan na, same day ho jata hai easily if you have time. But agar gums se bleeding ho rahi ho cleaning ke baad, toh doctor next week bulate hain.

Rohan Mehra · Answer

Yes, they absolutely can do both in one session. Just let the front desk know while booking the appointment so they allocate enough time for you.

Haan bilkul, agar choti cavity hai toh doctor usi time kar dete hain. Zyada time nahi lagta, bas pehle se unhe bata dena ki aapke paas time hai.
