Cavities can cause discomfort and lead to more serious dental problems if left untreated. During an emergency visit, we assess the affected tooth, remove decay, and restore it with a long-lasting solution such as a filling or crown. Prompt treatment helps prevent infection, preserves tooth structure, and relieves pain quickly.
