'Cavities Don’t Wait — Why Should You?' Teeth cavity treatment focuses on stopping the progression of tooth decay and restoring the tooth’s structure and function. In the early stages, professional fluoride treatments can help reverse minor enamel damage. When cavities become deeper, the decayed portion is carefully removed and replaced with a filling material such as composite resin, which blends naturally with the tooth. If the decay reaches the inner pulp, a root canal treatment is performed to eliminate infection and save the tooth. In cases of extensive damage, a dental crown may be placed to provide strength and protection. For severely decayed teeth that cannot be saved, extraction followed by replacement options like implants or bridges may be recommended. Timely treatment and preventive care, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental visits, are essential to maintain a healthy, cavity-free smile.
