"Got a Cavity? Skip the Drill with These Smart Solutions!"
/
If a cavity is in its early stages, a filling may not be needed. There are modern treatments that can stop decay and even repair damage.
Fluoride Treatments – High-fluoride varnishes and toothpaste can help strengthen enamel and reverse small cavities.
Dental Sealants – These thin coatings protect teeth from further decay by sealing off grooves where bacteria collect.
Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) – This liquid stops cavities from growing by killing bacteria and hardening the weakened tooth.
Resin Infiltration (Icon DMG) – This is a no-drill treatment where a special resin fills and strengthens early cavities, preventing them from getting worse. It’s often used for white spot lesions and smooth surface decay.
Remineralization – Eating calcium-rich foods, using specialized toothpaste, and keeping good oral hygiene can help rebuild weak enamel.
Improved Oral Care – Brushing with fluoride toothpaste, flossing, and avoiding sugary foods can prevent cavities from worsening.
If you have a small cavity, ask your dentist about these options. Catching decay early can help you avoid a filling and keep your teeth strong!
