How to Stay Away from Cavities

Cavities are small holes or openings that are permanently damaged on the surface of the teeth. These are caused simply by not cleaning the tooth well, bacteria in our mouth, frequent consumption of sweets and having more snacks. Cavities are also known as caries or tooth decay and this can be commonly seen in all the age groups. If not treated at the right time, the infection may spread deeper into the teeth and may cause severe pain in the tooth, also may end up losing the tooth. Regular visits to the dental clinic, brushing teeth twice a day and flossing habits can prevent cavities.

Cavities can be treated at an early stage before it causes severe pain and also one can avoid extensive treatment. Regular visits to our dental clinic in Dubai can help and prevent serious problems related to tooth decay. Looking at how severe the cavity is, our dentist will suggest you the right treatment.

Our Treatments at Best Dental Clinic includes :

Fluoride Treatment: 

Fluoride treatment is best when the cavity has just begun. It will help in reversing the cavity and helps in restoring the tooth's enamel. The infected tooth area will be brushed with fluoride that may be of gel, liquid, varnish or foam.

Fillings: 

When the cavity has gone beyond the initial stage, fillings are suggested. They are also called as restorations and are made of many materials like dental amalgam or porcelain, tooth-colored composite resins, and many more combined materials. 

Crowns: 

We suggest crown at Best Dental Clinic, when the tooth decay is affected a large area of the tooth or when the teeth are very weak. It replaces your entire natural teeth by customized crowns. All the decayed area is cleansed by the dentist by the drilling process and ensures the crown fits good to your teeth. Crowns can be made using gold, porcelain blended with metal or other material, resin or high strength porcelain.

Root canals: 

Root canal are carried out by our professional dentists when the infection spreads to the inner layer of your tooth, also called pulp. Instead of removing the damaged tooth, the infected tooth pulp will be taken off in this treatment. To clear any infection, medications are put into the root canal and the pulp is restored by fillings.

Extraction of Tooth: 

When the cavity has spread widely and the infection is severe, the decayed teeth must be removed and it cannot be restored. Tooth extraction may lead to the gap between the teeth and can be treated with a bridge or dental implant at our clinic in Dubai.

When a tooth is often exposed to acid, the enamel loses the minerals on the tooth and a white patch may appear which is a sign of a cavity or early tooth decay. If you are a person who consumes food or drinks which contain more sugar and starch, the acid attacks on the enamel are very often. Enamel can be self recovered from the saliva in our mouth, other sources like fluoride from toothpaste which can stop tooth decay. However, when the mineral is lost in overtime, the decay process carries on with weakening and destroying the enamel, building up cavities in your teeth. A cavity is a lasting infection that a dentist has to repair with proper treatment.
