Though many people feel tempted to ignore tooth sensitivity and sometimes even discomfort, these are common warning signs of dental cavities. Untreated, cavities can lead to painful tooth infections, as well as visible changes to the smile, like deep discoloration or white patches.
Fortunately, modern dental fillings can usually help to save and protect teeth affected by acidic erosion. Plus, they’re made to fit comfortably and naturally, within one’s smile.
In the case of chips or cracks, as well as tooth infections, restorative dental crowns are often the best solution. Crowns are durable yet natural-looking. They help to keep damage from worsening with further wear, and they can prevent infection, as well.
The sooner you seek treatment, the more likely it is that minimally invasive treatment will be effective at protecting your tooth.
