Cavity treatment

Cavity treatment

A cavity is a common infection that attacks the enamel, then the dentin and eventually the pulp, and should be treated before it damages the tooth deeply.

Tooth decay ispromoted by certainfactors

  • Poor hygiene allows dental plaque and its bacteria to produce acids that destroy enamel.
  • A diet high in sugar and acid, along with frequent snacking, increases the risk of cavities.
  • Naturally thin or fragile enamel makes teeth more vulnerable to bacterial attack.
  • Overlapping teeth or teeth that are hard to reach when brushing are more prone to cavities.

Left untreated, a cavity can develop into pulpitis, a particularly painful infection that can lead to nerve death.

Here are thestepsof cavity treatment

  1. Restorative care

    The dentist removes the decayed tissue, then fills the cavity with a biocompatible filling material, such as a dental composite or an onlay.

  2. Root canal therapy

    When decay has reached the pulp, the dentist removes the nerves and blood vessels from the tooth, then seals the canals to prevent reinfection.

  3. Dental prosthetics

    If decay has destroyed a large part of the tooth, it is rebuilt with an onlay or a crown. If extraction is necessary, an implant with a crown replaces the tooth.

Baby teethcan beaffected too

A cavity in a baby tooth can be painful and affect the permanent teeth. It’s best to treat it right away rather than wait for the tooth to fall out, and to encourage good hygiene habits early on.

What are the first signs of a cavity?

Sensitivity to hot, cold or sweet foods, pain or a dark spot on the tooth can signal the start of a cavity.

At what stage should a cavity be treated?

As soon as it’s detected. Early treatment keeps the decay from reaching the pulp and causing more serious complications.

How can I tell if I have a cavity between my teeth?

Cavities between teeth are hard to see. They are often detected on the X-rays taken during dental visits.

Does fluoride really protect against cavities?

Yes. Fluoride strengthens tooth enamel and can help prevent, or even reverse, the early stages of decay.
