RESTORATIVE TREATMENTS
Your Experts for Stillwater Tooth Fillings & Cavity Repair
About The Procedure
Cavities which are not treated early can lead to root canals or even loss of teeth. A cavity can be diagnosed in several ways. Often a cavity is discovered during a routine cleaning and exam; it can appear as a soft area in the tooth that our explorers actually penetrate. Radiographs, or dental x-rays, performed by our Stillwater dentists are helpful in diagnosing interproximal decay (a cavity between the teeth) as well as infections below the gum line that can be problematic. These diagnostic tools allow us to save more of your tooth structure. Our goal as Stillwater dentists is to find teeth before decay leads to painful symptoms and requires tooth filling or cavity repair.
The Common Cavity
Cavities are the most common dental issue that can occur on the teeth. Many cavity-related issues arise for a variety of reasons including not brushing or flossing regularly, not having routine cleanings, or lack of knowledge in dental hygiene.
