Tooth Decay

Dental caries, commonly known as tooth decay, is a prevalent condition that affects many people at some point in their lives. It occurs when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that attack the enamel and deeper structures of the teeth. If left untreated, caries can lead to pain, infection, and even tooth loss.

At Medina Dental Care, we focus on early detection and effective treatment of dental caries to preserve your natural teeth and prevent further damage. Our approach includes:

• Initial Assessment: We start with a thorough examination of your mouth to identify any signs of decay. Using advanced imaging technologies, we can detect caries at an early stage, even before they become visible to the naked eye.

• Treatment Options: Depending on the extent of decay, we offer various treatment solutions:

  • Fillings: For minor decay, we clean the affected area and fill it with a durable material that restores the function and appearance of the tooth.
  • Inlays and Onlays: When a larger portion of the tooth is affected, we may recommend an inlay or onlay, which offers a more substantial restoration compared to fillings.
  • Crowns: For extensive decay, a crown may be necessary to completely cover and protect the tooth.

• Preventative Measures: Education on proper oral hygiene practices is an integral part of our treatment plan. We provide tips on brushing, flossing, and diet to help prevent future occurrences of dental caries.

Our goal is to restore your dental health and help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. Trust Medina Dental Care to provide expert care tailored to your specific needs.
