Tooth Decay (Cavities) Treatment

Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease in the world — and one of the most preventable. Bacteria feed on sugars, produce acid, and slowly dissolve enamel. Caught early, decay treatment is quick and inexpensive.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Understanding Your Treatment

How Decay Progresses

It starts as a chalky white spot, then eats through enamel, then the softer dentine, and finally reaches the nerve. Each stage costs more to fix — which is why early detection matters.

Signs to Watch

White or brown spots, rough edges your tongue catches, sensitivity to sweets, or visible pits and holes. Cavities between teeth usually only show on X-rays.

Fillings

Small and mid-size cavities get tooth-coloured composite fillings — bonded, natural-looking, and completed in one visit with the tooth fully numbed.

Crowns for Bigger Damage

When decay removes too much tooth for a filling, a crown wraps and reinforces what remains so the tooth does not crack under chewing force.

When It Reaches the Nerve

Deep decay that inflames the pulp needs root canal therapy plus a crown — still tooth-saving if treated before the infection spreads.

Your Home Defence

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once a day, keep sugary snacks to mealtimes, and drink water after them. Small habits, big protection.

Fluoride & Sealants

Professional fluoride varnish strengthens enamel, and sealants lock out bacteria from deep grooves — especially valuable for kids and cavity-prone adults.
