San Diego COUNTY Dentists Who Are Friendly and Knowledgeable

Tooth decay is a common dental problem that occurs when acids produced by bacteria in the mouth erode the tooth's enamel, causing cavities or holes in the tooth. Treatment for tooth decay usually involves removing the decayed part of the tooth and filling the cavity with a dental filling material.

TOOTH DECAY TREATMENT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

CAVITIES, CROWNS, FILLINGS, ROOT CANALS & MORE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY

Tooth decay is a common problem that dentists treat every single day; however, that doesn't mean it should be taken lightly. As an issue that can have serious consequences if it's left to grow, decay should be treated quickly to prevent negative long-term effects on your health. At A+ Family Dentistry, we help patients get rid of damaging tooth decay so that they can restore their oral health and enjoy their smile for years to come.

What If I Ignore Tooth Decay?

If you ignore tooth decay, it will only get worse. The decay will continue to eat away at your tooth enamel, and the cavities will become larger and more numerous. This can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. In severe cases, the decay can spread to the nerves and blood vessels inside your teeth, which can be extremely painful and may require extensive dental work to treat.

What To Expect During Tooth Decay Treatment

The way that we treat your tooth decay will depend on the extent and the location of the decay. We will work with you to determine the best course of action in restoring your oral health. For small patches of decay and minor cavities, you can expect to get a filling. For more extensive decay, you may need a crown or a root canal.


At dental appointments, one of the ways we can treat tooth decay is by doing a deep cleaning. This involves removing the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) that has built up on your teeth, as well as any decay that may have already occurred. 

Signs You Have Tooth Decay

There are several signs that you have tooth decay, including but not limited to:

Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures

Visible holes or "cavities" in your teeth

Pain when chewing or biting

Bad breath

Discolored teeth

Any of these signs are important reasons to contact us for an appointment as soon as possible to stop decay in its tracks.
