What is tooth decay?
Tooth decay, also known as dental caries or cavities, is the breakdown of teeth due to acids made by bacteria. It starts as a small hole or soft spot on the tooth's surface called a cavity. As tooth decay worsens, it can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss.
The procedure:
- Our dentist will examine your teeth to check for any signs of decay.
- If a cavity is detected early, a fluoride treatment may be applied to help stop decay.
- For more advanced decay, a filling will be placed to remove decay and restore the tooth structure.
- If the decay has reached the inner pulp, a root canal may be needed to save the tooth.
- In severe cases where the tooth cannot be restored, extraction may be required.
How it can benefit you:
- Stopping decay early prevents more invasive treatments later on.
- Fillings and other restorations protect your tooth from further damage.
- Root canals and extractions can save the remaining healthy teeth.
- Treating decay preserves your smile, eating ability, and oral health.
