A dental filling is used to repair small areas of tooth decay or minor damage by filling the affected portion of the tooth. A dental crown covers the entire tooth and is recommended when a tooth has extensive decay, a large fracture, or has undergone a root canal. Crowns provide added strength, protection, and a natural-looking appearance.

Once a cavity has formed, it cannot heal on its own. Early-stage enamel demineralization may be reversed with fluoride treatments and good oral hygiene, but a true cavity requires professional treatment to prevent further decay and protect the tooth.

With proper care, porcelain crowns typically last 10 to 15 years, and many last even longer. Brushing, flossing, regular dental checkups, and avoiding habits like chewing ice or grinding your teeth can help extend the life of your crown.

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by worn enamel, gum recession, cavities, cracked teeth, or exposed tooth roots. A dental examination can identify the cause and determine the most effective treatment to relieve discomfort.

Persistent bad breath may be caused by bacteria on the tongue, gum disease, tooth decay, dry mouth, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. Regular dental cleanings and exams can help identify and treat the source of chronic bad breath.

Many cosmetic dental treatments can enhance your smile without orthodontics. Professional teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, cosmetic bonding, and tooth-colored restorations can improve the appearance of stained, chipped, uneven, or worn teeth.

The American Dental Association recommends that children visit the dentist by their first birthday or within six months after their first tooth erupts. Early dental visits help establish healthy habits and allow for early detection of potential concerns.

Healthy gums should not bleed regularly. Bleeding while brushing or flossing may be an early sign of gingivitis or gum disease. Scheduling a dental evaluation can help prevent more serious periodontal issues.

Most in-office professional whitening treatments take about 60 to 90 minutes and can brighten teeth several shades in a single visit. Take-home whitening kits provided by your dentist are another effective option for gradual whitening.

Delaying treatment for a cracked tooth can allow the damage to worsen, increasing the risk of infection, severe pain, or tooth loss. Early treatment often allows for more conservative and cost-effective solutions, such as bonding or a dental crown.
