Now that the weather is warming, is your sweet tooth crying out for ice cream? What happens when you take a bite of that delicious mint chocolate chip treat, or when you try to steal a bite of your kid’s sno cone, though? If iced treats make you want to scream, not from delight but because of dental discomfort, it’s time to schedule an appointment with your restorative dentist. You could have a dental cavity. If you are suffering from a cavity, the good news is that prompt dental treatment, like a tooth filling, is the best way to restore your comfort and to save that metaphorical sweet tooth from further problems!
Treatment Could Help You Smile Comfortably
When teeth become extremely sensitive, or when discomfort is experienced during chewing, it could be caused by acidic erosion, the kind commonly caused by dental cavities. With prompt restorative treatment, you can likely enjoy improved comfort, while also protecting your tooth from infection or even the need for an extraction.
Sadly, the longer you allow a cavity to progress, untreated, the more likely you are to need extensive treatment, such as root canal therapy to address an infection.
Ask About a Confidence-Inducing Filling
In the case of most cavities, a simple filling can help to restore the smile. Fortunately, modern fillings are often made of a natural-looking composite resin that can be sculpted onto the teeth to cover any erosion. The resin bonds tightly with teeth, creating a great seal against further exposure to bacteria, and also allows for increased comfort when chewing.
