Apurva Patel helps you get rid Of Small Cavities

•

Dental fillings are the necessary treatment for small cavities in a tooth.

•

Tooth decay occurs when the acid produced by oral bacteria leach crucial minerals, such as calcium and phosphorus, out of the enamel, softening and infecting the tooth structure.

•

Tooth decay, if left untreated, can cause serious damage to the structure of the tooth, and require invasive procedures like root canal therapy or even a tooth extraction to address the problem.

•

Even in its early stages, tooth decay is irreversible for the most part and the infected tooth structure must be removed and replaced with a filling.
