Tooth decay is one of the most common oral and dental health problems. If not detected early, decay can progress to the deeper layers of the tooth, causing pain, sensitivity, and even tooth loss. So, which dentist should you see for tooth decay treatment?
General Dentist
A general dentist is your first choice for diagnosing and treating tooth decay. They assess the extent of the decay and determine the appropriate treatment method. Simple cavities are usually treated with fillings. If the decay is deep, more advanced procedures such as root canal treatment or a crown may be necessary.
General dentists perform the following treatments:
- Detection and diagnosis of caries
- Filling applications
- Root canal treatment
- Tooth extraction
- Scaling
Endodontist: Root Canal Treatment Specialist
If the decay has progressed to the nerve tissue (pulp) of the tooth, an endodontist steps in. Endodontists are dentists who specialize in root canal treatment. This treatment can save the tooth from extraction, even if the decay is advanced.
Pedodontist: Pediatric Dentist
If cavities are a problem in children and adolescents under the age of 18, a pediatric dentist is the best choice. With child-specific approaches and treatment methods, pediatricians treat cavities and offer recommendations to prevent future cavities.
