"So have you ever wondered what a composite filling is? Well my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I'm here to explain to you basically what a composite filling is. A composite filling is just the clinical term for a white filling. It's just another name for it due to the fact that it's a composite, the material that makes up the composite filling is basically it's a plastic based material. Sometimes it comes in the form of a little ball of white color looking ball that you place into - on the tooth to fill the tooth. Other times it comes in forms of like a flowable composite which is easier to fill a tooth with. It's a lot more better for the patient and in the restoration aspect of the tooth so basically a composite filling is a white filling and there's different shades that you can pick with composite fillings depending on the natural color of your teeth, would be the reflection of the shade that you would want to pick, so therefore it all flows perfectly and looks all natural into one. So once again my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I just explained to you what a composite filling is."
