Are you familiar with the process of treating a cavity? If you have experienced issues with tooth decay in the past, you may be clear on what has to happen to protect a tooth that required restorative dental work. To properly treat the problem, a permanent restoration has to be put in place after the removal of decay, as the damage to your tooth structure is permanent. In order to avoid this permanent damage in the future, it is important to pay attention to your ongoing oral care habits. Whether you have had several cavities or none at all, a review of your oral hygiene habits can be beneficial. Remember that in addition to providing professional care during routine dental appointments, your Sheridan, WY dentist can talk with you about better oral health habits at home. (more…)
