Restorative Dentistry Amalgam Fillings | Tooth Colored Fillings | Root Canals | Crowns and Bridges | Full and Partial Dentures | Implants What causes tooth decay? Bacteria in the mouth feed on the sugars found in foods and drinks. The bacteria produce acids that attack the teeth. Mouth bacteria thrive on sugar found in many foods and drinks, not just candy--soda pop, sports drinks, fruit juice and even milk contain sugar that can lead to tooth decay. Each time these foods and drinks are consumed, acids attack the teeth for 20 minutes or longer. When you have sugary foods or drinks many times a day, or sip on the same sugary drink for long periods of time, the acid attacks your tooth enamel again and again. The acid eats away at the tooth, and can cause decay. A hole called a cavity can form. If not treated, tooth decay can cause an abscess and can lead to serious infecitons.
If you have missing or damaged teeth, we can restore and enhance the natural beauty of your smile. Our practice can treat:
