Do you think that only kids get cavities? If so, think again. Both adults and children are susceptible to cavities. Tooth decay occurs when bacteria attacks the enamel of your tooth. Without proper treatment, this tooth damage will spread and directly affect the overall appearance and health of your teeth. The good news is that cavities can be repaired by Dr. Husain’s family dentistry in Waterloo, which will restore the beautiful look of your smile.
Repairing Cavities
The sooner you seek treatment for your cavity from a family dentistry in Waterloo, the easier it is to repair. In most cases, the cavity is small, so small it may not event require any freezing to repair it. However, if the tooth decay has had time to spread the filling will be larger and take a little more time to repair. In some cases a dental crown may be the best solution. If the cavity has worked its way down to the pulp (center) of the tooth, a root canal may be necessary. In extreme cases, your oral professional specializing in family dentistry in Waterloo may recommend actually pulling the damaged tooth and replacing it with a permanent dental implant.
No matter which type of treatment you need to repair the damage caused by your cavity, it will restore the look of your smile. It is important to have your cavity repaired as soon as possible because it can be the cause of other health issues not even in your mouth.
