Recovery Guide
What to expect during Dental Caries Treatment recovery
Dental caries treatment addresses tooth decay at different progression stages to prevent further damage, infection, or tooth loss. The procedure varies depending on how deep the decay is—ranging from removing the decayed surface and filling it with a resin material, to applying inlays or crowns when a large portion of the tooth is damaged. In advanced cases where decay reaches the dental pulp, root canal therapy is performed to remove infected tissue and preserve the tooth. If the tooth is severely damaged beyond repair, extraction and dental implant restoration may be recommended. The goal is to remove decay, restore structure, relieve pain, and preserve natural tooth function.
