Fillings – Caries Treatment
What is caries?
Caries occur when the hard tissues of the tooth become demineralized and thinning, resulting in a cavity. The main causes of tooth decay are microorganisms attached to the surface of the teeth, poor hygiene, improper nutrition and others.
How are cavities treated?
During the treatment of a cavity, the cavity is cleaned and filled with an appropriate dental filling material. The treatment stops the progression of the decay, completely removes the existing defect, and returns the tooth to its original shape and function.
How do I know if I have a cavity?
If you have any or more of the following symptoms, you may have tooth decay and need to see a doctor:
– Toothache while chewing
– High sensitivity to hot/cold food
– Tooth discoloration
– Tooth tissue deterioration
What happens if I don’t see a doctor early?
Failure to seek early medical attention during a cavity will cause the decay process to progress and affect the healthy part of the tooth, cause damage to the root canal, and may eventually even require extraction of the tooth.
Is the treatment safe?
At Anna Metreveli Dental Center patient safety standards are maintained at the highest level, with disposable instruments used in most cases. Reusable instruments undergo all the necessary stages of sterilization with the latest generation sterilization equipment.
