Do You Know How Harmful A Cavity Can Be To A Tooth?

Posted July 2, 2018 by Wager-Evans Dental

Are you doing enough to make sure that your teeth are completely safe from cavities? Tooth decay poses a real threat to your oral health, and if a problem goes without treatment, you can suffer some unpleasant complications. Did you know that a cavity will eventually do irreparable harm if it is not treated? Did you know that a cavity can make it possible for bacteria to spread into your jawbone, and affect other teeth? Your oral health care affects your appearance, and it can impact your overall well-being. Your Reno, NV dentist is ready to help if you need restorative dental care, and we welcome patients looking to enjoy preventive care. 

A Cavity Will Continue To Worsen Until It Is Treated

Many of the physical ailments we face will subside over time. In other words, you can use rest to recover from something like a cold, or a sprained ankle. One thing you should NOT try to wait out is a cavity. Dental problems will continue to worsen over time – if you have an untreated cavity, it will continue to do damage. If tooth decay reaches your pulp, you will need to schedule a root canal treatment. If no care is provided at this point, you can lose your tooth!

Your Smile After Your Cavity Treatment

Your dentist will provide you with care that offers real protection, while also keeping your smile in good shape. You can receive a dental crown or dental filling, based on the amount of harm done to your tooth. Fillings and crowns that are provided to patients can be made to look natural, so your smile is not negatively affected by their placement.
