Understanding Cavity Reversing
Cavity reversing represents a proactive approach to dental care, focusing on early detection and treatment of tooth decay before it progresses to require traditional restorative methods like fillings. Utilizing the latest advancements in dental science, South Gate Dental Clinic is at the forefront of treatments designed to not only halt but potentially reverse the initial stages of cavity formation, preserving natural tooth structure and health.
Causes and Early Signs of Cavities
- Causes: Cavities are primarily caused by the buildup of plaque and the subsequent acid attack on tooth enamel. Diet, oral hygiene habits, and fluoride exposure can influence cavity development.
- Early Signs: White spots or areas of demineralization on the teeth, sensitivity to sweet, hot, or cold foods and drinks, and mild toothache.
Our Cavity Reversing Treatments
- Fluoride Treatments: Professional fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel, enhancing its resistance to acid and aiding in the remineralization process.
- Dietary Counseling: Guidance on foods and habits that promote oral health, reducing the risk of further decay.
- Sealants: Application of a protective coating to the grooves of back teeth to prevent food and bacteria from causing decay.
- Remineralizing Agents: Products containing calcium and phosphate to support the natural process of enamel repair.
- Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF): A topical treatment that can halt the progression of cavities and prevent new ones from forming.
