Dental Caries and Treatment Methodologies
Dental Caries is a type of tooth decay caused by bacteria that live on the surface of the teeth. The bacteria produce acid that eats away at the enamel of the tooth, resulting in cavities. The most common treatment methodologies for dental caries are fillings, crowns, root canals, and extractions. Fillings are used to fill in the cavities and to restore the tooth to its natural shape and size. Crowns are used to cover the entire tooth, providing protection and strength. Root canals are used to remove any infected tissue and to restore the tooth to its natural shape. Extractions are used to remove the entire tooth if it is too severely decayed.
