Tooth Cavity Treatment Millstone Township
Cavities are very common but luckily they are preventable and treatable!
Cavities can result in tooth loss, which can lead to severe oral complications. For this reason, learning how to catch them, prevent them, and treat them is important.
Causes
- Improper brushing and flossing
- Poor overall oral hygiene
- High sugar and starch content in diet
- Smoking and drug use
- Low fluoride
- Dry mouth
Treatment
Your dentist may recommend a couple of options based on the size of your cavity. For smaller cavities, a dental filling may be installed. This process involves a composite material that replaces the decayed tooth to improve health, functionality, and appearance of the affected and surrounding teeth. Larger cavities may require a dental crown to surround and protect the affected tooth after the decay has been removed.
Prevention
- Maintain a proper oral hygiene routine including good brushing and flossing techniques
- Eat a balanced diet and lower sugar and starch intakes
- See your dentist for regular checkups/cleanings

Additional Information About Cavity Treatment in Millstone Township
Cavities are a common dental issue that can lead to serious oral health problems if left untreated. At our practice in Millstone Township, we offer comprehensive cavity treatment to help you maintain a healthy and pain-free smile. Whether you have a small cavity or need more extensive treatment, we are here to provide you with personalized care.
What is Cavity Treatment?
Cavity treatment involves removing decayed portions of the tooth and restoring its structure and function with a filling, crown, or other dental restoration. Early detection and treatment of cavities can prevent more serious dental issues and preserve your natural teeth.
How Does Cavity Treatment Work?
The cavity treatment process at our practice in Millstone Township is straightforward and effective:
- Diagnosis: During your routine check-up, we use digital X-rays and thorough examination techniques to detect cavities early.
- Anesthesia: To ensure your comfort, we administer local anesthesia to numb the affected area.
- Decay Removal: The decayed portion of the tooth is carefully removed, preventing further damage.
- Restoration: The tooth is restored using a filling, inlay, onlay, or crown, depending on the extent of the decay. This restores the tooth’s function and appearance.
