There are several ways of cavity treatment:
- Filling is the most popular and affordable way to restore the shape and function of a tooth destroyed by decay. When the dentist gives you a filling, he/she first removes decayed tooth tissue, cleans the infected area, and then fills the cleaned out cavity with filling material. By closing off areas where bacteria could enter, the filling also helps prevent further decay.

If decay is not treated in proper time, the pathology reaches the pulp, which leads to an inflammation called pulpitis. The process does not pass on its own. To treat it, doctor removes the decayed tissue with bur machine. Then, the tooth nerve is extracted. Next, the doctor handles mechanical treatment and cleaning of the endodontium. The empty root canal is then filled, and the permanent filling or crown is placed.
