Dental decay in Albuquerque

If you have tooth pain when you eat something sweet, you may well have a dental cavity. As we all know, dental cavities will never go away by themselves. For this reason, it is wise to come in to see our dentist at TruCare Dental whenever you have tooth pain. If a dental cavity is left untreated, the decay can progress until it has reached the center of the tooth. At this point you will need to have a root canal treatment in order to save the tooth. This is just one reason why you will want to come in to see our dentist near Albuquerque when you have any type of tooth pain.

At TruCare Dental, our expert dentists are: Dr. Andrea Patterson; Dr. John Anton; and Dr. Shelly Verma. Our dentist will be able to fully assess the cause of your tooth pain. Dental cavities can cause obvious tooth pain, but this is not always the case. Tooth decay can affect just the outer coating of the tooth, or the inner layer as well. Cavities form when foods that contain carbohydrates stay on your teeth. The bacteria that normally exists in your mouth will turn these substances into acids. The bacteria, acid, food debris, and your saliva will then combine together to form plaque. Plaque is a sticky substance which clings to your teeth. The acids that are in the plaque will dissolve your tooth enamel. This is how a cavity forms. At our dental practice, patients are able to get fluoride treatments which help to strengthen their tooth enamel. While fluoride treatments are generally provided for children, adults may benefit from this treatment as well which they can get from our dentist near Albuquerque.

One of the most important things you can do to prevent cavities is to make sure that you always carefully brush your teeth after each meal. It is also important to floss on a daily basis to help remove all plaque and bacteria from your teeth. Since children often have pits and grooves in their teeth, we offer dental sealants as a way to keep cavities from developing on the flat chewing surfaces of your child’s molars. Dental sealants are applied by first cleaning and drying the teeth, and then the dental sealants are actually painted on. They will act as a physical barrier between your child’s teeth and harmful substances in the mouth that cause dental decay. Dental sealants last for many years. Coming in for regular dental cleanings will also help to prevent cavities, since all plaque, tartar, and bacteria is thoroughly removed during this important dental procedure. For an appointment to see our dentist near Albuquerque, contact us today.
