Most of the bacteria in your mouth are beneficial or
neutral, but some of it can be very harmful to your oral health. If too much of
these dangerous bacteria build up, plaque will eat away at your dental enamel,
and your teeth will begin to erode. This decay can be detected by a cosmetic dentist in Hawthorne, and if the decay has created cavities, you will need to
get a dental filling to repair the damage.
You should be scheduling routine dental exams with your
dentist at least twice a year so that any problems can be detected before they
get too out of hand. When tooth decay gets too severe and makes its way to the
center of the tooth, it can eventually necessitate a root canal to treat. But
when the cavities are small and mild, a dental filling will usually suffice.
When you are getting a cavity treated, our expert in dental fillings in Hawthorne will first numb the area so that you are comfortable
throughout the process. A special etching liquid is used to roughen the surface
of the tooth and improve adhesion. Then the filling material is applied in thin
layers to match the surface of your tooth before being cured and polished.
