Cavity Treatment- PHC Dental Care of Miami Florida

Premium Healthcare Dental Center in Miami offers cavity treatments that work for you.

Cavities, or tooth decay, are a common dental problem.  The best treatment for cavities depends on the severity of the decay and can range from preventive measures to restorative procedures. Here are some commonly used treatments for cavities at Miami’s Premium Healthcare Dental Center:

  • Dental Fillings: The decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and the cavity is filled with materials such as composite resin, porcelain, or amalgam.
  • Dental Crowns: A crown is a cap that covers the entire tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and functionality.
  • Root Canal Therapy:  This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection.
  • Dental Bonding:  A tooth-colored resin is applied to the affected area and then hardened with a special light, restoring the tooth’s appearance and function.
  • Fluoride Treatment:  Fluoride is applied to the tooth enamel, strengthening it and promoting re-mineralization.
  • Sealants:  Thin coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars and premolars to protect them from decay. They create a barrier that prevents bacteria and food particles from accumulating in the deep grooves of the teeth.
  • Improved Oral Hygiene: Practicing good oral hygiene is crucial in preventing and managing cavities. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, and using mouthwash can help remove plaque and reduce the risk of cavities.

Premium Healthcare Dental Center promotes prevention treatment as the better treatment when it comes to cavities. Regular dental check-ups, professional cleanings, and maintaining a healthy diet low in sugary foods and drinks can go a long way in preventing cavities and maintaining optimal oral health.

FAQ

A cavity is a small hole or decay in the tooth caused by the buildup of plaque and bacteria. It can lead to tooth pain, sensitivity, and further damage if left untreated.

Cavities form when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, accumulates on the teeth. The bacteria produce acids that erode the tooth enamel over time, leading to the development of cavities.

Common symptoms of a cavity include toothache, tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods, visible holes or pits on the tooth surface, and staining or discoloration.

Cavities are typically treated by removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling the area with a dental filling material, such as composite resin or amalgam. In more severe cases, a dental crown may be necessary.

Yes, cavities can be prevented through good oral hygiene practices. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, maintaining a balanced diet, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.

The process of getting a dental filling is generally not painful. Your dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
