Do You Have Any Cavities?
When bacteria and plaque eat away at the enamel, it leaves a tiny opening into the inner tooth. At this point, you have what dentists refer to as a cavity. Cavities are essentially tooth decay that has gotten to a point where dentist intervention is required. Ideally, we’d like to catch these decays before they become cavities, but that is not always possible.
Fillings
Cavities are treated by removing the damaged and decayed portions of the tooth and filling the area in with an amalgam or composite resin to prevent further erosion. Fillings are fairly routine, as most people will require at least one in their lifetime. The early we catch these cavities, the less intense our fillings will need to be.
So, if you feel like you may have the beginnings of a cavity, please reach out to us. We want you to know that you should never be scared of getting your teeth examined and potentially filled by our dentists.
Our dentists specialize in advanced restorative care, and will make you feel as comfortable as possible while we fill your cavities. Reach out today, and let’s work together on restoring your dental health.
