3 Things To Remember When Your Dentist Finds A Cavity

A cavity is never good news, but a little perspective can help you stay calm, and help you understand how to enjoy effective restorative dental care. When you act sooner to stop a cavity, you can limit the damage done to your tooth. Thanks to modern dental materials, the restoration you receive can avoid creating any cosmetic worries. Some patients will only realize something is wrong when they have a tooth that has become sensitive, or if they experience regular pain concentrated in a tooth. If you want to improve the chances your cavity will be caught sooner, regular dental exams create opportunities for your dentist to examine you, and find out if you will need care for tooth decay.

1. If You Delay Treatment, You Give A Cavity More Time To Attack Your Tooth

You will not be able to slow down or stop a cavity once it has formed. That being said, having treatment for the problem sooner means limiting the harm you ultimately experience. Early care can limit the damage to the point that you only need a dental filling to support your tooth.

2. A Discreet Restoration Can Keep Your Smile Looking Good

Dental fillings and dental crowns can be made to match your surrounding teeth. You can feel confident about your smile even after these discreet restorations are placed.

3. Keeping Up With Dental Checkups Can Help You Control Your Cavity Risk

Dental checkups will put your teeth under routine evaluation, which means any problems that have started to form can be caught and identified. Because these appointments also include an involved dental cleaning, your risk for future problems will go down.
