If a cavity is found at one of your regular checkups, the dentist will plan to fill it at a follow-up appointment.
Cavities are a hole caused from left-on plaque that eats away at the tooth. Not brushing and flossing, as well as certain foods, can cause this to occur.
The solution is simple, a filling to close that hole and prevent future damage and decay.
What Happens at an Appointment
A local anesthetic will be administered in the gums near the problematic tooth. The cavity is cleaned and filled with a substance that can match the surrounding teeth seamlessly. If you are having pain, call our office so we can help at 905-889-0000.
