Regular checkups can identify cavities and other dental conditions before they cause troubling symptoms and lead to more-serious problems. The sooner you seek care, the better your chances of reversing the earliest stages of tooth decay and preventing its progression. If a cavity is treated before it starts causing pain, you probably won't need extensive treatment. Doctor detects tooth cavity level and suggests keeping or extracting it. If your tooth can be kept, you have filling or root canal treatment done.

DENTAL FILLINGS

Dental fillings were created as an alternative to traditional metal dental fillings. Also known as Composite Resins, they are actually dental fillings which are specifically colored to look like a natural tooth. They are made from plastic dental resin combined with porcelain and glass particles. These types of fillings are quite durable and are way more natural-looking than amalgam fillings. If you have a cavity in a tooth or broken fillings or if your teeth are full of mercury or amalgam fillings, you may want to ask your dentist about changing them with Composite filling.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Root Canal Treatment is the field of dentistry concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the dental pulp. In the past, you had to extract the tooth if it got damaged. Nowadays, root canal treatment gives dentists a safe and effective means of saving teeth. The pulp is made up of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue, which are important in tooth development. There are very small canals within your tooth and they can become infected quite easily. This causes the pulp inside your tooth to become infected as well. Pain and swelling may accompany the infection. Even in the absence of pain, certain by-products of a diseased pulp can injure the bone that anchors your tooth in the jaw. Our doctor will remove this infection by performing a root canal procedure. This is one of the safest and most effective methods of saving a damaged tooth.
