Cavities are a very common occurrence, especially in children. Cavities form as enamel weakens due to poor oral hygiene and certain lifestyle risk factors. Once a cavity has formed, it will require treatment to remove the area of decay while the area is sealed with a filling to prevent additional damage.

As a leading dentist in Weatherford, we encourage you to treat cavities before they even start with simple preventative measures.
