What causes cavities?
Plaque is the root cause of all cavities. The acids in plaque remove minerals in your tooth’s outer enamel. The first stage of cavities is when the erosion causes small openings in the enamel. Once areas of enamel are worn away, the bacteria and acid can reach the next layer of your teeth, called dentin. That’s why it is so important to brush and floss your teeth twice daily and to see your dentist twice a year.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
Preventative dentistry is an important part of avoiding decay and of keeping your oral health intact. In addition to regular home care, routine cleaning appointments should be scheduled every 6 months.
Is filling a cavity painful?
Local anesthetics help to make the procedure essentially pain free. Pain from a cavity usually happens when it has become so big that it involves the nerve inside the tooth. At Hope Dental, we try to catch things when they are small so that that type of pain is avoided.
