Tooth Decay
Tooth decay, also known as caries or cavities, is preventable. Carbohydrate-rich foods, such as candy, cookies, soft drinks and even fruit juices, leave deposits on your teeth. Those deposits bond with the bacteria that normally survive in your mouth and form plaque. The combination of deposits and plaque forms acids that can damage the mineral structure of teeth and eat away at tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay.
Treatments
NuSmile manufactures esthetic pediatric crowns that are used and trusted by children’s dentists around the world. An esthetic crown doesn’t use a metal substructure and is shaded to match the natural color of your child’s teeth. See the results our dentists were able to achieve with patients here:
