Fluoride application: in the early stages, fluoride can repair the damaged enamel by remineralization.

Pit and fissure sealant:

Dental Fillings: For small medium holes not affection the pulp, fillings using composite, silver amalgam/gold , miracle mix, GIC helps restore the shape and function of teeth.

Root canal treatment: for advanced dental cavities that has reached the pulp, root canal treatment relieves you from the pain. We remove the nerve, cleans the pulp and fills the pulp chamber with gutta-percha. For the molar teeth you will need a dental crown for strength.

Tooth extraction: For tooth with persistent pain after an RCT/ grossly damaged teeth, extraction is the only solution. We recommend a dental bridge/ dental implant for the pulled permanent tooth.
