Cavities & Decay

Cavities, also known as dental caries or tooth decay, are among the most common health problems worldwide. They occur when plaque, the sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, produces acids that erode tooth enamel. At Medina Dental Care, we provide comprehensive treatments to stop decay and restore the health of your teeth.

Treatment Overview:

• Detection: Early detection is key to preventing severe decay. We use advanced diagnostic tools to spot cavities in their earliest stages.
• Treatment Options: Depending on the extent of the decay, we offer:
  • Fillings: The most common treatment for cavities involves removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling it with a durable material.
  • Inlays and Onlays: These are used when the decay is too extensive for a standard filling but not severe enough to require a crown. They are custom-made to fit the cavity and are bonded to the tooth.
  • Crowns: For more extensive decay, a crown may be necessary to cover and protect the tooth after removing the decayed material.
• Prevention: Along with treating existing decay, we emphasize the importance of preventative care through proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.
