YOGYAKARTA Broken or perforated teeth must be patched immediately so as not to cause further complications, such as toothaches, dental abscess, systemic infections, and blockage of blood vessels due to infection. So, how much is the cost of cavities?

Please note, dental filling is a dental treatment procedure aimed at repairing and restoring damaged teeth, usually due to caries (pocketed teeth) or trauma.

This treatment can restore the function and shape of the teeth and prevent further damage.

The cost of cavities varies, depending on the severity, the type of patch material used, to the location of selected dental health facilities.

Compiled from various sources, the following is an estimated cost of cavities in hospitals, clinics, and health centers.

The cost of dental patching in hospitals ranges from Rp. 300 thousand to Rp. 1 million per tooth, depending on procedures and severity.

In the lightest cases, doctors will usually use more affordable patch materials at a cost of around IDR 300 thousand per tooth.

For the case of cavities with moderate severity, a patient has to spend around Rp. 400 thousand to Rp. 600 thousand per tooth. Meanwhile, in the case of severe cavities, the cost of dental filling can reach Rp. 700 thousand to Rp. 1 million per tooth.

The cost of cavities in the clinic is not much different from the hospital. On average, dental clinics charge around IDR 350 thousand per tooth. This figure can still increase, depending on the severity and type of patch material used.

Meanwhile at the puskesmas, the cost of filling cavities is more affordable. Usually it ranges from Rp. 30 thousand per tooth. Meanwhile, for permanent dental filling costs, it can reach Rp. 100,000 per tooth.

If you have BPJS Kesehatan, this facility can be used to get gisi patching for free. This is because dental patch is a type of dental treatment borne by BPJS Kesehatan. The dental patch borne by BPJS Kesehatan uses ionomer cement (GIC) glass or composite resin material.

Just so you know, dental patching is not only done when teeth have holes. There are several dental problems that require dental patching, including:

Quoted from AI-Care, cavities are a condition of tooth damage that occurs when the hard layer of teeth (enamel) experiences demineralization, a process of removing mineral ions from tooth enamels, due to bacteria that convert sugar and carbohydrates into acid. The high acidity level can erode and damage sixels to cause holes.

Cracked teeth can be caused by physical injuries or trauma, such as accidents, collisions with hard objects, quarrels or falls, chewing hard objects, or bruxism (ordination of rolling teeth while sleeping).

Broken or slightly broken teeth must be patched to repair the damage or fracture. If there are pieces of the sixel layer that come off, the teeth can be patched with special ingredients.
