FAQ
Does decay need treatment if the tooth does not hurt?
Pain alone does not show how deep decay is. The dentist examines the tooth and may recommend imaging and pulp tests. An early lesion without a cavity and a cavitated lesion can need different approaches; not every lesion needs a filling.
When is a filling enough, and when is root canal treatment needed?
The condition of the pulp matters as well as the visible damage. If the inner tissues are affected, a restoration alone may not resolve the problem. The dentist explains the diagnosis and treatment plan first. Root canal treatment for pulpitis and apical periodontitis.
How are anaesthesia and tooth isolation used during treatment?
Anaesthesia is selected according to sensitivity and the depth of decay. Tell the dentist about allergies and previous reactions. Isolation helps protect the working area from moisture. If you feel pain, tell the clinician immediately.
What determines the cost of treating a cavity?
The depth of decay, number of surfaces and size of the restoration affect the estimate. The table lists individual price-list items. Ask whether anaesthesia, isolation and additional diagnostics are included before treatment. Composite fillings and tooth restoration.
Why can a tooth feel sensitive after a filling?
Sensitivity can occur after treatment, particularly for deep decay. The dentist should assess its cause. Arrange a review if pain worsens, starts without a trigger or the filling feels high when you bite, rather than waiting for a fixed deadline.
How can I reduce the risk of decay around a filling?
Use fluoride toothpaste, clean between teeth and limit frequent sugary snacks. A filling does not protect the remaining tooth from new decay. Examination and cleaning intervals depend on your individual risk. Professional dental cleaning.
