How does the dentist fix a cavity?

Don’t you just love it when your dentist tells you that you have a cavity? It’s like hearing someone whisper “you failed” in your ear after an exam. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back covered. In this article, we’ll be walking you through how dentists fix those pesky cavities.

What Is a Cavity?

For starters, let’s define what exactly a cavity is. A cavity is essentially tooth decay – the destruction of the outer layer (enamel) of your teeth caused by bacteria living and festering on that sugary sweet stuff hiding in your mouth.

It starts off as just a tiny hole but quickly progresses to something more serious if left unattended causing pain and discomfort. Good news though, it can always be repaired with fillings!

Prepping You for Filling

Dentists do their best to make sure they carry out procedures efficiently and effectively with minimal harm or damage to any parts other than ‘the culprit’.

So before drilling out that cavity from inside-out of the affected tooth with hysterical laughter to numb everything at once (anesthesia) using numbing gels are used-a diluted solution applied onto gums so as not to cause unnecessary panic among patients while dealing with antsy nerves while waiting for jab injections via needles- now thats nervous!

Once satisfied that all areas feel mushy potato-like because of effective anesthesia operation without disrupting speech capabilities which may come out sounding like brain swell syndrome having undergone quick-fixes, removing all debris from around prominent holes must follow suit very carefully since feelings at this point aren’t totally gone hence body shivers occasionally especially if anything touches nerve endings but under normal circumstances upon less contact; there wouldn’t be so much reaction beyond fleeting sensations sometimes -mind over matter pals

The whole process normally takes only 30 minutes, but it can feel like a lifetime for people who are terrified of dental procedures. This makes time zone the most critical factor in undertaking such processes to ensure they come out successful.

The Filling Process

Now that we have prepped everything above and beyond our expectations, let’s get down into the real deal !

• First things first; Dentists make sure you’re numb enough before filling your tooth. So don’t fret, it won’t hurt!
• Next step is to start drilling away the decaying parts of your tooth with a high-speed handpiece known as a drill or burs – depending on where you’re from – making funny sounds that may prompt some patients asking themselves if weapons at readiness should they need quick escape maneuvers
• Once all decay has been removed and only healthy enamel remains; comes forth placement of durable finfill called composite bonding material matching teeth color among other types used.
• These fillings either bond between resin and help change shape while harden up giving smooth outcome,and gettingt rid off ledge ways which could transform beautiful molars/canine focus points when done correctly!
• Finally, polishing the filling will occur once its completely dry by using special tools (and some elbow grease) also letting light shine-on glory work upon materials incorporated under gingival surfaces promoting resistance towards cavity formation

And Voila – That’s the whole process!

Sometimes patients opt for numbing agents which seem less powerful than anesthetics before booking appointment preferably via specialist consultations according to specialty practice guidelines too though… just saying pals-no extra cost required here

Now sit tight relax keep calm breathe normally stay cool person. You’ve got this covered!

What Should You Expect After?

It’s normal to experience slight discomfort for a few days after having your tooth filled – especially around areas near mouth treated with appliances being prosthetic thanks due applying fixing solutions rightly purchased second-hand products causing conflicts within gums surfaces.

Avoid hard foods if still having some level of sensitivity; stay hydrated, incorporate soft meals into your diet should they be necessary depending on degree of affliction caused from the cavity roots still evident or surfacing similar to forest fire consumption over long periods.

In Conclusion

There you have it!
