How are caries treated?
Caries (tooth decay) may be treated several ways, depending on where the decay is located, how extensive the decay is, and whether the tooth is considered 'important' to the patient's quality of life. 1. Small cavity, permanent tooth: Decay is removed, the cavity is shaped, and a plastic or silver material is used to 'fill' the cavity. 2. Large cavity, permanent tooth: The decay is removed, the remaining tooth is 'built up' with a plastic material, this is prepped , and a permanent crown is seated on the tooth. 3. Deep decay, permanent tooth: Same as #2, only a root canal procedure is also performed because the decay has reached the nerve of the tooth. 4. Baby teeth: Similar to 1-3 above, but it depends on how long the tooth is expected to remain in the mouth, importance to chewing, cosmetics, etc.
