Dental cavities in Montreal: treatment
A cavity caught early means a small filling and you're done. A cavity ignored can mean a root canal. That's the whole point of regular check-ups. Our fillings are composite, free of BPA and mercury.
Recognizing a cavity
An early cavity is often painless and is spotted during an exam or on an X-ray. Later, sensitivity to sugar, cold or heat may appear, or pain. Regular screening allows early treatment.
The treatment
The decayed part is removed and the tooth is filled with a tooth-coloured, BPA-free composite. If the decay has reached the nerve, a root canal may be needed before restoring the tooth.
Your questions about our dental care.
Can a cavity heal on its own?
No. Once the enamel is breached, a cavity does not repair itself and keeps progressing. Early treatment avoids heavier care.
Do your fillings contain mercury?
No. We use BPA-free composites and do not place mercury amalgams, in line with our eco-responsible approach.
