Cavities are incredibly common, even though they are largely preventable with proper preventive care. Fortunately, in most cases, prompt diagnosis and treatment can help to prevent extensive issues from developing.
In most cases, dental fillings are all that are needed to help protect teeth made fragile by decay, both from progressing to the point of infection and also in order to prevent the need for extraction.
Moving forward, once your smile has been restored, you can help to prevent future problems by taking proper care of your teeth and gums. The best way to do this is by brushing and flossing your teeth daily, avoiding too much sugar, drinking water, and seeing the preventive dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.
Prompt restorative dental care is the best way to prevent worsening dental issues. Fortunately, you can schedule restorative care today, by calling Gentle Smiles in Dallas, TX, at 972-329-7645 (972-329-SMILE).
