Decay can develop on areas that are not properly brushed, including the molars. When this happens, you need to see your dentist right away.
Decay doesn’t stop after ruining the tooth it has first set into. Cavities can also affect the neighboring teeth or the infection can cause a dental abscess affecting the jawbone.
Before any of this can happen, see your Caringbah Dental Care dentist right away. We have dental treatments meant to stop the decay from completely ruining your tooth and bring back its beauty and strength at the same time.
Tooth fillings are one of our dental treatments that can do this. Read on to learn more.

your dentist will prepare your target tooth by cleaning it thoroughly to reveal the natural tooth shade. All the decayed parts will be removed as well, and your dentist will shape the space for the dental filling to fill in.
an acidic gel is applied to the target tooth before placing the filling.
the dental filling is applied and a curing light is focused on the tooth to harden the filling.
after the material has hardened, your dentist will evaluate it. There may be final polishing to ensure perfection.
Tooth sensitivity is normal after the procedure. This subsides as the tooth adjusts to the restoration. Your Caringbah Dental Care dentist will give you detailed after-care instructions.
