The longer treatment is delayed, the more invasive and expensive it becomes.⏰💸
Tooth decay begins silently. As decay progresses, it breaks through the enamel into the dentin, leading to visible cavities. This requires a filling. Delay further, and the decay may reach the pulp, needing root canal treatment and a crown. In worst cases, the tooth becomes unsalvageable, needing extraction and replacement with an implant or bridge—both costly and time-intensive.
Early dental visits, regular check-ups, and preventive care are the smartest ways to protect both your teeth and your wallet.
