Restoring teeth
Sometimes teeth need fixing. This is often as a result of cavities (holes) caused be decay, which form as a result of bacteria that feed off the sugar we eat, or due to tooth wear, trauma, or genetic conditions. Often smaller cavities cannot be felt and do not initially cause pain. Only when more of the tooth and nerve is affected do we become aware of decay, and this is felt as toothache.
