Tooth Decay Treatments in Buderim

Tooth decay or a rotten tooth is a common dental problem affecting young and old alike. However, despite it being common, it is also a dental issue that can easily be avoided with good oral hygiene habits.

At Comfort Dental Centre Buderim, we have comprehensive oral hygiene instructions and tooth decay treatment to avoid dental problems.

In case you already suffer from dental decay or suspect you do, we can still help you! We have a wide range of dental treatments to stop tooth decay from compromising your oral health.

Common Causes Of Tooth Decay

Poor dental hygiene

The root of most dental problems for the rotten tooth is poor oral hygiene. Neglecting to brush and floss allows bacteria to attack your teeth enamel and create cavities.

Unhealthy diet

Your teeth need nutrition to remain strong and healthy. Lack of mouth-friendly foods, such as those rich in calcium, coupled with a liking of sweet foods and drinks can increase the risks of a rotten tooth.

Dry mouth

Xerostomia or dry mouth is a condition wherein the supply of saliva in the mouth is significantly reduced. Saliva is essential in fighting tooth decay as it washes away food debris and neutralises the acid in the mouth, preventing acid attacks on the enamel.

Smoking

Smoking has been proven to have negative effects on your oral health.

Tooth Decay Symptoms

Aside from the visible signs of tooth decay in the mouth, the following are the symptoms of tooth decay:

• Toothache
• Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet food and drinks
• Holes or pits in the teeth
• Discoloured tooth
• Bad breath
• Bitter taste in the mouth

Tooth Decay Treatment At Comfort Dental Centre Buderim

At Comfort Dental Centre Buderim, we put great emphasis on our preventive dentistry options for tooth decay treatment. Scheduling a regular dental check-up is an effective way to detect early signs of dental decay. Teeth that are in the early stage of decay can be treated using dental sealants.

In case the decay has already progressed and cannot be stopped using dental sealants, we have other options. Dental fillings and inlays/onlays are equally effective tooth decay treatments. The decision as to which dental treatment is best for you will be based on the severity of the condition.

If the decay is so severe that it leaves your dentist with no choice but to extract the tooth, we also offer tooth replacement options such as dental implants.
