Are you sure you know all that you need to about tooth decay? Did you know that a cavity can form without your realizing it, and that active discomfort may point to the onset of an infection? Did you know that at every routine dental exam, your dentist can look out for issues that call for treatment that you are unaware of? At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, we are ready to take on your concerns about dental decay. We are also here to help you avoid the kind of issues that require our services. A combination of smart habits at home and consistent appointments will help you avoid the kind of issues that require treatment.

A Cavity Does Permanent Damage To Your Tooth Structure

Once a cavity forms, there will be permanent damage to your enamel. Because of this, your treatment will have to involve the placement of a filling or crown. How can you tell which is going to be needed? Ultimately, this will depend on how severe your cavity becomes. Because fillings require fewer changes to your tooth structure, they can be preferred. However, a larger cavity will make treatment with a crown necessary to ensure you do not have a problem with your dental function or smile.

Decay Can Be Addressed With A Lifelike Restoration

At our practice, we can use fillings and crowns that imitate your tooth structure and preserve your smile. Whether you have a minor issue with decay or one that is more serious, we can protect your appearance so that you do not have to feel self-conscious after a procedure.

Routine Dental Exams Lead To Early Detection And Treatment

Your goal should be to keep your smile cavity-free. You can protect yourself with good daily habits that include brushing, flossing, and controlling your sugar intake. To confirm that your smile is as healthy as you believe it should be, schedule consistent dental exams. Your checkups provide thorough reviews about the condition of your teeth as well as timely warnings if something is wrong. We can also talk with you about issues that might affect your jaw health and pain, problems with your periodontal health, and more!
