🦷 When Should You Fill a Decayed Tooth?

 A small cavity might seem harmless—but tooth decay never stops on its own. The earlier it’s treated, the easier and more comfortable it is to fix. Here’s how to know when it’s time to fill a decayed tooth . 🪥 1. As Soon as You Notice a Cavity If you see a brown or black spot , rough surface, or small hole, the decay has already started damaging enamel . ➡️ Early filling prevents it from spreading deeper into the dentin and causing pain. 😬 2. When There’s Sensitivity or Mild Pain If you or your child feel discomfort while eating sweet, hot, or cold foods , it’s a warning sign. ➡️ Filling at this stage can save the tooth and avoid pulpal involvement (which would later need root canal or pulpectomy ). 🦷 3.

It ensures there’s enough room for the permanent tooth to erupt naturally. Think of it like a placeholder — saving space for the new tooth. When is a Space Maintainer Needed? Not all children who lose baby teeth early need a space maintainer. Your dentist will recommend one if: ✅ A baby tooth is lost much earlier than expected. ✅ The permanent tooth will not erupt soon. ✅ There is a risk of t...
