Preventive Dentistry » Tooth Decay Detection
Early tooth decay is pain free, but the deeper the decay gets the more painful it becomes. If the decay carries on it can affect the tooth nerve causing pain and abscesses. The treatment to relieve this is root canal treatment.
We can spot decay early with higher magnification and special lighting and show you the decay using our oral cameras. The earlier we treat you the fewer long term problems you may experience.
