Preventive Cavity Management
Traditionally, cavities were treated once they penetrated more than 50% through the enamel. However, we now treat cavities only after they have progressed into the dentin layer. That said, if a patient prefers to be treated earlier, we respect that choice. For small cavities or weak enamel, we can often delay or prevent further damage by recommending:
01
Top-quality remineralizing products
Use fluoride toothpaste or specialized formulas to strengthen enamel and reduce cavity risk.
02
Improved hygiene techniques
Brush thoroughly twice a day, floss regularly, and incorporate mouthwash to maintain oral health.
03
Diet and beverage changes
Cut down on sugary and acidic items while adding calcium-rich foods to boost tooth strength.
