Tooth decay, also known as dental caries or cavities, is a common dental issue that affects individuals of all ages. It occurs when the enamel, the hard outer layer of your teeth, is damaged due to acids produced by bacteria in your mouth.
If left untreated, tooth decay can lead to severe pain, infection, and even tooth loss. We offer professional fillings to effectively treat tooth decay and restore your oral health. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing top-quality dental care to ensure your smile stays healthy and beautiful.
Tooth decay is primarily caused by a combination of factors, including:
Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to the buildup of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that produces acids.
Frequent consumption of sugary and acidic foods and drinks can contribute to the erosion of tooth enamel.
A lack of saliva, which helps wash away food particles and neutralise acids, can increase the risk of decay.
Specific bacteria in your mouth can produce acids that attack the enamel.
Some individuals may be more prone to tooth decay due to genetic factors.
At FACEMED, our expert dental team utilises high-quality fillings to treat tooth decay effectively. The procedure involves:
Comprehensive dental examination and X-rays to identify the extent of the decay.
Removal of the decayed portion of the tooth using specialised dental instruments.
Application of a filling material, such as composite resin or amalgam, to fill the cavity and restore the tooth’s structure.
Shaping and polishing the filling to ensure a comfortable bite and natural appearance.
