Tooth Decay


Tooth decay is a problem for many people and is caused by bacteria in your mouth being held against the tooth by dental plaque.

There is no cure for tooth decay, other than to remove the diseased area and replace it with a white filling or inlay - so the best cure in this case is prevention!

The best way to prevent tooth decay is daily and comprehensive tooth cleaning, coupled with a mouth wash that has an active ingredient (some cheaper mouth washes do not contain any active ingredients).


Another way to prevent tooth decay from becoming too advanced (which could result in a dental crown) is to see the dentist regularly.

People often say to us "You would say that wouldn't you?" thinking we just want to get people to pay to come to see us.

Let me assure you now that it will cost you much more in the long run if you dental health is neglected. Leaving gums and teeth in an unhealthy state can result in pain, tooth loss and having to have expensive treatments to restore your dental health.

So coming to see our dental practice in Sheffield regularly will keep the overall cost down and ensure you avoid the expense and possible discomfort of advanced treatments.
