Tooth decay occurs when the enamel is damaged by acids produced by bacteria in the mouth, often as a result of poor oral hygiene or sugary foods and drinks. Left untreated, decay progresses deeper into the tooth, potentially causing pain, infection, or tooth loss. Regular dental check-ups can identify cavities early, allowing them to be treated with fillings to stop decay in its tracks. Fillings replace the lost tooth structure, restore strength and function, and prevent further damage. Using modern materials like composite resin or porcelain, fillings can blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, preserving the beauty of your smile while maintaining oral health.
