Address Tooth Decay Confidently
What Causes Cavities? Understanding Tooth Decay
Tooth decay occurs when bacteria in your mouth produce acids that gradually erode your enamel, the protective outer layer of your teeth. Over time, this process can lead to cavities—small holes that, if untreated, can result in pain, infection, or even tooth loss.
Common signs of tooth decay include:
-
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or
sweet foods. -
Tooth pain, especially when
eating or drinking. -
Visible white or brown stains
on your teeth. -
An abscess or swelling caused
by infection.
How Dental Fillings Can Restore Your Smile
- Preparation: After reviewing your dental history, we’ll numb the area around the affected tooth for a pain-free experience.
- Treatment: Using advanced tools, we gently remove the decayed portion of the tooth and thoroughly clean the area.
- Restoration: We fill the cavity with a durable material that strengthens your tooth, prevents further damage, and blends naturally with your smile.
