A toothache could mean a tooth is decayed, and that cavity needs treatment to avoid the onset of an infection, and the risk of eventual tooth loss. But we can help with a custom and lifelike dental restoration. In today’s blog, your team at Riverside Dental Group talks about stopping toothaches with our custom fillings.
Tooth Decay and Aching Teeth
Cavities are a widespread concern that impacts smiles of all ages, from kids to adults. Tooth decay occurs when the outer enamel no longer prevents bacteria from reaching the sensitive inner dentin. This could happen when poor oral hygiene and other factors weaken and erode enamel, leaving dentin exposed to bacteria. Injury could be a factor too, as could teeth grinding. As the decay grows in severity, you could begin to develop painful symptoms, such as tooth sensitivity when you eat or drink, or a toothache! Our team can help with a dental filling.
Helping with Our Fillings
Our team will examine your smile to assess the position and severity of your cavity. We then numb your tooth so you stay comfortable as we remove the decay for the tooth and clean it thoroughly. We then apply the filling material to the tooth. This is a metal-free option that is safe for all ages, and which bonds with the tooth and can be shaded to look natural. We then sculpt and mold the tooth to ensure proper balance and beauty. The final step is to polish the tooth for a bright appearance. The process only takes one visit and helps to tooth decay in its tracks!
Steps to Avoid Cavities
Our team would like to help you avoid the risk of a cavity altogether. With routine cleanings every six months, we can remove plaque and tartar that could otherwise weaken outer enamel. We can also discuss treatments like fluoride and dental sealants for kids to help lower the risk of cavities. At home, you can help by brushing and flossing each day and limiting how much sugar is in your diet. If you have any questions about how we stop toothaches with a filling, or about preventing cavities altogether, then contact our team today to learn more.
