Causes
of Tooth Decay
Approximately twenty to thirty minutes after you eat, the bacteria in your mouth will increase. These bacteria produce acids, which may eat away at the enamel and dentin or hard layers of your teeth. This happens slowly over a period of months or years. A hole or dental cavity forms from the acid causing more damage than your tooth can repair. If this does happen, you may experience tooth pain or a sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures. The more layers of the teeth that the acid affects, the more severe your cavity will be. It may ultimately reach the nerve and cause nerve pain and you may eventually end up with the extraction of your tooth. Don’t let it get that far! Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent cavities, although even with stellar oral care some people will get cavities. Plaque build-up, combined with the acid formed from the bacteria in your mouth, gradually remove the enamel from your teeth.
Nourishing Solutions
for Vibrant Dental Health
There are preventative measures you can take to help reduce or eliminate cavities. Here are some tips: minimize snacking (especially with sugary foods), brush or rinse after eating or snacking, avoid constant sipping of sugary drinks, and refrain from frequent sucking on candy and mints. Chewing xylitol gum after meals will reduce the incidence of cavities. In addition, make sure you brush and floss everyday and receive your regular cleanings at least every six months. With diligent care and thoughtful preventative measures, the enamel of your teeth can rebuild in weakened areas.

“Only One Choice For a Filling“
Treating a dental cavity in Santa Clarita is done only by composite resin for best results.
“Patients frequently ask me about the silver colored amalgam used as a filling years ago, when it was the only option for restoring decayed teeth when cavities were discovered. In the past, if someone was worried about the aesthetic look of their teeth, the only option was for the dentist to grind down the tooth and place a crown. But today, composite resins, or tooth-colored fillings, provide good resilience and resistance to fractures in small to medium size fillings that need to endure moderate compression from the continuous stress of chewing. Composite dental fillings in Santa Clarita can be used in front or back teeth and are the preferred choice for people who enjoy natural looking teeth. Our highly skilled dentists will help provide you with the best artistic composites being used today. They are virtually invisible as they match the color and shape of your surrounding teeth.”
