Cavities
Every year people around the world suffer from cavities. A dentist in Mobile has said ‘’if everyone would just take the time to brush and even floss every day, we could reduce the number of cavities recorded each year.’’ Cavities simply put are holes that form in the teeth due to sugar and other harmful substances in the mouth and need to be fixed.
To repair a cavity is a simple and quick procedure. The dentist will numb the affected area with a shot, then he will use a special drill to scrape away the dental decay and sugar that is causing the cavity to hurt the teeth. He does this so that he can place a filling in the hole and the teeth will no longer be affected by this disease. The filling is usually made of porcelain and sometimes silver or even gold as well. Cavities can be painful and need to be treated the soonest possible.
The dentist in Mobile says that while cavities can easily be prevented through good oral hygiene, people seem to not care and cavities are still formed in the teeth. Cavities can be painful and always need to be treated before they develop into something much worse and much more frightening, the root canal.
