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. While treatment is simple and effective, repeat cavities can weaken the structure of the tooth, eventually leading to more invasive restorative procedures, and in some cases, extraction of the tooth. As a leading dentist in Weatherford, we encourage you to treat cavities before they even start with simple preventative measures.
