You may take cavities lightly just because there is no serious pain. By the time people begin feeling pain, the cavity may be in an advanced stage or multiple cavities may have spread all over the mouth. Most think that all deep cavities have to be extracted.
A decade ago a tooth with deep decay used to be extracted. Along with the advanced dental technology most treatment aims at keeping as many teeth as possible. Various treatments have been developed in recent years.
You won’t have to loose even a deep decayed tooth with an integrated diagnose and treatment plan.
