How often you need conservative dentistry is entirely up to you – it depends a lot on your genetics, diet, oral hygiene, etc. Even if you don’t have any symptoms, you should have your teeth examined by a specialist at least once a year, because tooth decay can be symptom-free for a very long time!

Thanks to modern technologies and anesthetics, the treatment is completely painless. However, after the procedure, the treated tooth and the surrounding area may be temporarily more sensitive.

Although tooth decay does not initially cause any symptoms, over time it can lead to tooth sensitivity and pain. If it reaches the tooth root, it can develop into periodontitis with unbearable pain. If left untreated, this is not only very unpleasant, but can also lead to tooth loss. It is therefore important to take care of a damaged tooth as quickly as possible.

The type of treatment is always chosen by the dentist after assessing the problem to be prevented or corrected. Most often, fillings are used, but in the case of large, deep caries, i.e. a large loss of tooth structure, inlays or onlays can be used, and if the root of the tooth is affected, root canal treatment may be necessary.
