IDENTIFY AND TREAT TOOTH DECAY EARLY

Cavities and Dental Decay in TORONTO

What Causes Cavities and Tooth Decay?

Cavities develop when acids produced by bacteria gradually damage tooth enamel. As decay progresses, it can create an opening in the tooth and eventually reach deeper tooth structure. Early cavities may cause no noticeable symptoms, while larger cavities can lead to sensitivity, pain, or discomfort when chewing.


At Beach Dental in Toronto, your dentist can examine your teeth and use dental X-rays when needed to identify decay, determine how much of the tooth is affected, and recommend appropriate treatment.

Treating Teeth Affected by Decay

Treatment depends on how far the decay has progressed. Beach Dental provides restorative treatments designed to remove or address damaged tissue, protect the remaining tooth, and preserve your natural tooth whenever appropriate.


  • Dental Fillings: Restore teeth when cavities have damaged part of the tooth.
  • Dental Crowns: Protect significantly weakened or damaged teeth when additional coverage is needed.
  • Root Canal Therapy: Treat teeth when decay has reached and affected the dental pulp.
  • Tooth Extractions: Remove severely damaged teeth when they cannot be predictably restored.
