When Do You Need a Dental Filling?
Tooth decay starts when mouth bacteria produce acidic byproducts that demineralize enamel, creating small dark spots or cavities. In the early stages, dental cavities often cause no pain. However, if left untreated, bacterial infection penetrates deeper into the dentin and pulp chamber, eventually causing severe toothache that requires a root canal treatment.
At Happy Dental Care & Implant Centre in Sector 8A, Airoli, Dr. Kiran Kakad performs early conservative restorations. By carefully removing the decayed portion and placing a micro-hybrid composite filling, we preserve your natural tooth structure and seal it against future bacterial invasion.
