Small Cavities
If it is a small cavity, we can do a white filling. These small cavities are usually hard to see with the naked eye. With digital x-rays, we can detect small cavities and we want to fix these so that they do not get bigger.
Large Cavities
A large cavity is a cavity that you can see with the naked eye. If the large cavity is on the back tooth, we put a stainless steel crown on it. If the cavity extends into the pulp, we need to do a baby nerve treatment to get all the infected pulp out.
