dental cavity preparation

Dental cavity preparation involves removing decayed or damaged parts of a tooth to prevent further decay and to restore its strength. The dentist uses special instruments to carefully eliminate the affected area, ensuring all decay is removed. After cleaning, the cavity is shaped to hold a filling securely. This process helps protect the tooth from future decay, relieving discomfort and restoring normal function. Once prepared, the cavity is filled with a suitable material, such as composite resin or amalgam, to restore the tooth’s shape, strength, and appearance.
