A Cavity Is Not All That It Is! Unfortunately, when one notices it, it is too late to avoid needing root canal therapy, which involves treating the entire tooth. Health issues and poor quality of life can result from tooth decay. Those with cavities are more susceptible to throat, sinuses, and ear infections. Tooth decay pain can be so terrible that it prevents people from properly digesting their food, eating, and consuming enough nutrition! Dental caries left untreated can cause various issues, including recurrent infections, excessive pain, and missing out on social and professional activities. If not treated promptly, it results in additional expenses, time, and inconvenience for the family. Your dentist will initially clean your cavities, followed by a filling, as the primary course of therapy. The tooth’s shape, structure, and functionality are returned by repairing the hole with filling material. The dentist must do root canal therapy, which involves removing the tooth’s center, cleaning it, and filling it when the cavity is too deep and has spread to involve the pulp. This tooth will receive a crown to stabilize and prevent it from falling out. This is a procedure that may require several appointments at the dental office. Using a fluoride toothpaste will keep your teeth healthy and help avoid dental caries. It will also help to drink tap water with the right amount of fluoride and use a fluoride mouthwash. Maintain a healthy oral hygiene regimen by brushing your teeth twice daily and regularly using floss or other interdental (between-the-tooth) cleansers. It will also assist in using mouthwashes or rinses with antibacterial properties. Making sensible food choices, avoiding foods high in sugar and starch, and managing snacking are good ways to prevent decay. You can also prevent decay by improving your diet’s quality, balance, and nutrition. Pit and fissure sealants are useful for both kids and adults. They work well to stop tooth decay on the premolar and molar biting or occlusal surfaces. Vitamin D supplements and Calcium aid in strengthening your teeth; however, this should be taken only after visiting your dentist. When you first find even the smallest cavity, it is best to consult your dentist promptly, who will start the treatment accordingly.
