Wha are the best treatments for dentist caries?

Dental treatment: Once dental caries (or cavities) have started, they will continue to get larger and deeper.The key to dental treatment is to find problems (such as caries) when they are small and can be treated very conservatively with small filling. Delaying treatment results in less conservative and more expensive treatment such as crown. If you currently have dental caries, see you dentist soon for treatment.

Fillings: Depending on the size of the caries, the options for treatment range from a small filling to a crown, and in the worst case scenario, a tooth extraction when nothing can be done to save the tooth. The best thing is to avoid having to get a filling done in the first place. Prevention is the key, see your dentist regularly and follow his/her recommendations.
