Cavities is one of the most common dental problems that people of all ages can be susceptible to. Sometimes, no matter how religiously we clean our teeth, there are still spots in and in between our teeth that typical oral care methods aren’t able to reach very well. These spots allow space for bacteria to accumulate and turn the food we eat into chemicals that will cause tooth decay.
Depending on the severity of the decay, these can be remedied by dental sealants or tooth-coloured fillings. Sometimes the decay can be severe enough to warrant a crown or bridge treatment. In more severe cases like periodontal disease, teeth can be badly damaged enough that they will require an extraction and the disease would have to be cured first before treatments like dentures and dental implants can be employed to replace missing teeth. If you have cavities and you want to know what treatment best suits you, schedule an appointment with one of our dentists today.
