How tooth decay is treated

1./ Examination and diagnosis

The dentist will first perform a thorough examination of your oral cavity and the condition of your teeth to determine if it is indeed tooth decay. He uses a visual examination, a dental probe and, if necessary, also X-rays, which reveal caries under the filling or in the spaces between the teeth. Diagnosis is quick and painless.

2./ Local anesthesia

If the decay is deeper or there is a risk of discomfort during the procedure, the dentist can give you local anesthesia, which numbs the treated area. Thanks to it, the whole process is comfortable and practically painless.

3./ Removal of tooth decay

Using special rotary tools (so-called drills) or microabrasive techniques, the dentist gently removes all the affected tissue. The dentist takes care to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. This step only takes a few minutes.

4./ Disinfection of the oral cavity

After the cavity has been removed, the treated area will be cleaned and disinfected to prevent the return of bacteria. In some cases, he also applies a protective pad to the cavity, which increases the life of the filling and protects the dental pulp.

5./ Application of tooth filling

The dentist then fills the cleaned cavity with a suitable filling material – most often a composite (white filling). He gradually applies the filling in layers and hardens it with a special light. This material is aesthetic, strong and coordinated with the color of your tooth.

6./ Treatment and polishing

After the filling has hardened, he adjusts its shape and height so that it fits exactly on the bite. Finally, the filling is polished, which ensures a smooth surface of the tooth and a natural appearance. After the procedure, the tooth looks and functions again as before.
