Soft teeth is a term used to describe teeth without a hard, dense enamel. Poor dental hygiene is the cause of cavities and decay, not soft teeth.

Composite fillings can be used to fill cavities in place of silver fillings. They can also be bonded to teeth to protect the enamel on teeth, close spaces between teeth, and alter the shape and size of a tooth.
