Cavities are a common issue here in the dental world, an issue that we deal with on a daily basis. Cavities basically occur as a result of built up bacteria in the mouth. All kinds of bacteria are present within our mouths each day, and certain kinds release acids that eat away at the tooth’s enamel, which slowly decay the tooth and form the small holes in the teeth we know as cavities. Cavities should not be ignored, because if they are left untreated the decay will only spread and do even more damage to the tooth that is being affected. If you are experiencing pain and/or sensitivity in one specific tooth, you may have a cavity, and you should schedule an appointment with our
Canton family dentist here at Cavalier Family Dental for an examination. We can then determine if there is a cavity and then discuss treatment options with you from there. The most common treatment for a cavity is a dental filling. We now offer tooth-colored dental fillings in many cases, meaning that there will not be a darker filling there blemishing your smile.

If you have older dental fillings that you would like replaced, we can determine if that is possible. If you have a tooth that is significantly decayed, our
Canton family dentist may recommend treatments that are beyond dental fillings. We may need to put a dental crown on the tooth in order to restore it. In severe cases, the tooth might need to be extracted and then replaced using a dental filling restoration or other kind of restorative option. Our Canton family dentist will always go over all the options with you in order to decide on a treatment plan that is best suited for you. In order to prevent cavities, be sure to brush and floss carefully each day, monitor your diet, and visit us for regular professional dental cleanings.
