Tooth Decay
Tooth Decay Treatment
Tooth decay, also known as cavities or caries, is a common dental issue that occurs when the bacteria in your mouth produce acids that eat away at your tooth enamel. This can lead to holes in the teeth, which can cause discomfort, pain, and if left untreated, serious oral health problems. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, frequent snacking on sugary foods and drinks, and not getting enough fluoride can contribute to tooth decay.
At Sydney Road Family Dental, our approach to treating tooth decay depends on the severity of the decay. Treatment options can range from fluoride treatments for early stages of decay, to fillings, crowns, or root canals for more advanced cases. Our team, led by Dr Sanjiv, is committed to providing effective, tailored treatment plans to stop decay in its tracks and restore your oral health.
Ignoring tooth decay can lead to more serious problems. As the decay progresses, it can cause severe toothache, infection, and even tooth loss. Additionally, the bacteria causing tooth decay can lead to gum disease and other oral health issues if not addressed.
At Sydney Road Family Dental, we understand that dealing with tooth decay can be stressful. But with our expert care, we can help you overcome this issue and prevent future occurrences.
