Meet Keshavarz Dentistry. We’re the Brampton Dentist who wants you to take an active role in the health and wellness of your oral hygiene. We know our patients care about having a bright, beautiful smile. And that’s why we encourage you to stay on top of your oral health and prevent cavities whenever possible.
Why Treat Cavities and Tooth Decay?
Leave a cavity untreated for long enough, and other problems, such as gum disease, infections, and toothaches, can quickly develop.
DYK: According to the Ontario Dental Association (ODA), Cavities (or caries) are little holes that form in the enamel. If left untreated, a cavity will continue to grow, and eventually, bacteria can enter the soft tissue of the inner tooth. That can lead to pain, infection and more serious treatment, such as a root canal.
Remember, a filling is less costly and less invasive than an extraction, a crown, or a root canal.
Here are a few red flags that indicate it’s time to book an appointment before more significant dental issues develop.
A Toothache That Doesn’t Go Away
One of the first signs of a cavity is a throbbing pain. Unfortunately, a toothache that doesn’t go away can mean the cavity has eaten through your tooth enamel and is attacking the nerve or the dentin that’s underneath.
At Keshavarz Dentistry, we ensure that all dental procedures, including cavity treatment, are performed with state-of-the-art and modern techniques to ensure your utmost comfort. If you’re anxious about visiting our dental clinic, don’t forget to ask about the contemporary local anesthetics we use.
Dark Stains
When it comes to treating cavities, there are visual cues that you may notice. For example, a chalky white spot as well as a brown or black discolouration can be telltale symptoms that a cavity is working its way into your enamel. We help identify the early warning signs of cavities using advanced digital imaging equipment. Moreover, Keshavarz Dentistry also recommends and offers cavity prevention measures, including regular dental cleanings, checkups, and dental exams in Brampton to help you avoid cavities and other dental issues.
Bad Breath
Got bad breath that hangs around or an unpleasant taste in your mouth that won’t go away? Both symptoms can indicate the presence of plaque and tartar that are accumulating in areas where flossing and brushing don’t reach. Once bacteria get hold, the next step can be a cavity.
Our dental office in Brampton has professional dental hygienists on staff. These individuals dedicate themselves to removing plaque and tartar using specialized tools for scaling and polishing. They employ professional flossing techniques that reach deep into the spaces between teeth, ensuring that no food particles can remain hidden.
Tender Gums
Sometimes, decay can spread all the way down to the gum line. Suppose you’re noticing that your gums are becoming swollen and tender. In that case, that can mean a cavity is teetering on the edge of an infection. Keshavarz Dentistry goes out of its way to ensure that you receive outstanding treatment for all your dental issues. That’s why we are proud to have an experienced endodontist on staff who specializes in a variety of areas, including your gums and the bones in your jaw, as well as orthodontics.
Pain When Biting Down
If a cavity has already formed, this will be one of the more apparent symptoms. When you book an appointment with Keshavarz Dentistry, we’ll be able to use digital X-rays to determine if other issues, such as a worn filling or a cracked tooth, cause the pain. Whatever the problem may be, we’ll be able to develop the right treatment plan to prevent infections from taking hold and spreading. If you come in and see us as soon as you’re experiencing problems, you’ll be able to avoid more costly treatments, such as root canals.
