🦷 How do you know when you have tooth decay and what to do about it? 🤔
Tooth decay is damage to the tooth’s surface. It is often caused by consuming sugary food & drinks.
If left untreated, it can cause cavities or holes in the teeth, which may lead to toothache, teeth sensitivity, and the appearance of white, brown or black spots on the tooth.
In certain scenarios, it can also cause an infection or lead to tooth loss. But fret not; there are several treatment options for tooth decay, depending on its severity.
▪️ For typical tooth decay, our dentist can perform a filling. This process involves removing the decayed tooth tissues and replacing them with a filling material.
On the other hand, if the damage spreads to the pulp or inside of the tooth, we can do a root canal procedure 👍🏻
However, if the tooth decay is severe, we may need to extract the tooth and replace it with a bridge or an implant.
