TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR TOOTH DECAY


 TREATMENT OPTIONS;

Tooth Decay treatment depends on the severity of your condition;

Treatments include;

  •  Fluoride
  •  Fillings
  •  Root canal treatment
  •  Tooth Extraction

Fluoride;

In the very early stages of tooth decay, fluoride treatments can repair damaged enamel —by a process called remineralization. This can reverse the early signs of tooth decay. You may need prescription toothpaste and mouthwash, as well as fluoride application from your dentist.These fluoride treatments are generally quick, which will take only a few minutes. The fluoride comes in the form of a gel, varnish, foam, or solution.


 

Filling;

If you have a typical cavity, your dentist will remove the decayed part in your tooth and then restore the tooth by filling it with a filling material.Initial filling of your tooth will prevent further progression of decay.

Root canal treatment;

If the damage to the tooth or infection spreads to the pulp (inside of the tooth), you might need a root canal treatment.Your dentist will remove the decayed pulp and clean inside the tooth and root. The next step is to fill the tooth with a temporary filling. Then you will need to get a permanent filling or a crown (a cover on the tooth) which will proctect your root canal treated tooth.

Tooth Extraction;
In the most severe cases,when the damage to the pulp cannot be fixed or the damage to the tooth structure is severe,removal of the tooth is the ideal treatment.Your dentist will suggest that you get a bridge or implant to replace the missing tooth.

     


Can tooth decay be prevented?


    There are steps that you can take to prevent tooth decay:

  • Make sure that you get enough fluoride by
    • Brushing with a fluoride toothpaste. 
    • Drinking tap water with fluoride. Most bottled water does not contain fluoride.
  • Practice good oral health by brushing your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and regularly flossing your teeth.
  • See a dentist for regular check-ups and professional cleaning.
  • Make smart food choices by limiting foods and drinks that are high in sugars and starches. Eat nutritious, balanced meals and limit snacking.
