Tooth decay and cavities are common dental issues that can affect anyone, from children to adults.

Whether you’re dealing with a tooth with a cavity or want to prevent cavities in your mouth, we’re here to help.
What Causes Cavities and Tooth Decay?
Tooth decay occurs when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up on your teeth. Sugary and starchy foods contribute to this process, allowing bacteria to produce acids that erode your tooth enamel. If untreated, decay can penetrate deeper layers of your teeth, leading to pain, sensitivity, and even infections.
Signs of Tooth Decay
- Toothache or sensitivity
- Visible pits or holes in teeth
- Dark spots or staining
- Pain when biting or chewing
Dental Decay Treatment Options
At Hastings Dental Centre, we offer a range of solutions:- Tooth Cavity Fillings: We use durable and aesthetically pleasing materials to restore your tooth’s structure.
- Dental Crowns: For severe decay, crowns protect and strengthen the tooth.
- Root Canal Therapy: If decay reaches the tooth’s pulp, a root canal can save the tooth.
Tooth Cavity Filling Costs
The cost of a tooth cavity filling depends on factors such as the size and location of the cavity and the materials used. Contact us for a detailed quote and learn about payment options to suit your needs.Prevention Tips for Cavities
