What Are Cavities?
A cavity is an area of tooth damage caused by decay. When bacteria and plaque build up on your teeth, they can create acids that weaken your enamel and lead to small holes in the tooth. Without treatment, cavities can grow larger and may cause pain, infection, or even tooth loss.
Signs of a Cavity
In the early stages, a cavity may not cause obvious symptoms. As it gets worse, you may notice:
- Persistent toothache
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks
- White spots on your teeth
- Brown or black staining on the tooth
If you notice any of these symptoms, Fleetwood Dental can evaluate your tooth and recommend the right treatment.
Cavity Treatment
Dental fillings are one of the most common treatments for cavities. At Fleetwood Dental, we carefully remove the decayed portion of the tooth, clean the area, and fill it with a durable material to restore strength and function.
Depending on your needs, filling materials may include tooth-colored composite resin, silver amalgam, ceramic, or porcelain. Once the filling is placed, we smooth and polish it so your bite feels comfortable.
With good brushing, flossing, and routine dental checkups, a filling can help protect your tooth and keep your smile healthy for years to come.
