Definition: Cavity is by definition a hollow in the object. Therefore – a dental cavity or dental caries is damage to the structure of a tooth, a hollow in the tooth.
Cavities form as a direct result of bacteria living on the surface of the teeth. Poor dental hygiene is among the main reasons cavities develop. Not enough essential minerals in a person’s diet also contribute to the disease. Fluoride treatments, hollow fillings and/or extractions take place when one needs dental treatment. And if cavities develop, they are irreversible; cavity dental treatment, therefore, is needed.
It’s best to get treatment as soon as possible. Acting early can help reverse the beginning stages of tooth decay and prevent it from worsening. If you address the cavity before it causes pain, the treatment needed is usually simpler and less extensive.
Some of the newest research estimated that using a combination of proper diet and tooth remineralisation can help. In case of emergency-affected people, they can take over-the-counter pain relief medication or try to use a numbing gel around the affected area. However, he/she still needs to see a dentist in order to eliminate the consequences of the damage already done.
