Seeking a Moreno Valley dentist to help you eliminate tooth decay? There’s good news: Moreno Valley dentists specialize in advanced and restorative cosmetic dentistry techniques – with a focus on prevention of common, yet debilitating conditions such as tooth decay. Treatment will depend on the severity of the decayed teeth or tooth. These dentists can treat minor tooth decay with pain-free micro air abrasion.

Detect, Repair and Prevent Tooth Decay

Utilizing an intra-oral camera gives both you and us the opportunity to see potential problems occurring in your mouth, such as decay or fractured teeth. Often a tooth will not start bothering you until there is significant loss of tooth structure. With the help of the intra-oral camera, problems can be detected earlier, before you experience a toothache.Tooth decay prevention is your best treatment to stop it before it progresses into extreme severe stages. Preventing it from reaching advanced tooth decay stages can be accomplished by consulting with our cosmetic dentist to properly diagnose and provide you with a remedy.

How can you stop or cure Tooth Decay?

Treating tooth decay depends on how advanced the decay has become. Our Riverside / Moreno Valley Dentists may make any of the following treatments:

• Fluoride treatments may reverse tooth decay if it is detected and treated in its early stages.
• Natural colored tooth filling to restore the tooth after the decay has been removed because the cavity has already formed.
• A Tooth crown may be used to replace a part of the tooth if the decay has advanced and a filling will not work.
• A root canal treatment is required if infection in the pulp of your tooth has occurred, which essentially removes the diseased tooth pulp.
• Tooth extraction takes places when severe damage to the tooth root has taken place. A dental tooth implant procedure may follow to replace the tooth loss with a permanent natural looking tooth.

Treating Tooth Decay with Micro Air Abrasion, a Painless Cavity Cure

No Shots, No Drills…Really? – One of the greatest advances in dentistry in years is here. Now cavities can be removed with no shots or high-speed drills using “Micro Air Abrasion”. A painless air-driven stream of fine powder quietly removes decay from virgin teeth without your child even knowing and makes their appointment so much nicer. When we say “virgin” teeth, we mean teeth that have not previously been filled. Obviously, many adult cavities fit this description as well and we have surprised many of our “older” patients with the new “Micro Air Abrasion” experience.
