Treatment of Cavities with Composite Fillings

What is Tooth Decay and How Does It Develop?

Tooth decay occurs when dental plaque remains on the teeth, creating an environment for bacteria to thrive. This can lead to the penetration of bacteria into the hard tissues of the teeth, a condition known as dentin decay. In its early stages, decay often does not cause pain, making regular dental check-ups essential. Your dentist can identify cavities early, using examinations and X-rays to detect decay between teeth or beneath existing fillings.

Symptoms of Untreated Decay

When left untreated, cavities can grow larger and cause sensitivity to cold, sweet, or acidic foods. These symptoms indicate that bacteria are approaching the dental pulp, which contains blood vessels and nerves. Immediate treatment is crucial at this stage to prevent inflammation inside the tooth.
