Tooth Decay
Tooth decay is something we take lightly. But unfortunately, we experience the most tooth loss due to caries. That's why we need to treat tooth decay in our routine check-ups. In order to detect this, it is necessary to contact a dentist. Although teeth with excessive material loss due to caries can be diagnosed by patients, small cavities, Facial caries cannot be seen in the mouth; they can only be understood on radiographs. It is a great advantage to treat the tooth at an early stage. The greater the material loss, the lower the chance of treatment and success.
