Tooth Decay
The most likely location for a cavity to develop is on the chewing surface of the back teeth. The surfaces are not smooth and there are tiny grooves – “pits and fissures” which trap the bacteria and the food particles. The toothbrush bristles are not able to always reach these dark, moist little crevices. This creates conditions for tooth decay.
Tooth bonding is more than other cosmetic dental procedures, this process does not require typically anesthesia and it doesn’t require multiple visits as well. The process of bonding can easily fix the imperfection within a tooth, with the help of this process we can also close small gaps between the teeth. This process would be also helpful to increase the size of a tooth, At Apollo Dental we ensure to provide a fast procedure so you can continue your normal daily routine after this procedure. We also ensure to share some of the best habits to maintain good oral health and also to maintain the bonding.
- After the process we recommend you brush your teeth twice a day.
- Also, avoid eating hard food and candy.
- Try to avoid coffee, tea, and tobacco for the first two to three days to avoid stains.
Tooth decay can be repaired by itself by using minerals from saliva and fluoride from toothpaste. If the decay continues to happen, then you can lose more minerals.
Fortunately, in the beginning, stages the cavity can be reversed by taking good oral habits and hygiene.

If a tooth becomes rotten because of decay, you need to visit the dentist. The dentist can help the patient to save his rotten tooth with a root canal.
This filling is completely customized and also blended to match your enamel. These filling can last 10 to 12 years.
Because the bacteria in your mouth continue to break down in your tooth enamel, you might notice a yellow or grey color in your cavities.
