What Are The Types Of Cavities I Can Get Filled?
The three major types of dental cavities we see at our dental practice in Portsmouth, NH include:
- Root Cavities: Root cavities develop on the root of the tooth, both on the gumline or under the gums. If left untreated this type of cavity may require a root canal to remove all infection.
- Pit/Fissure Cavities: These are commonly found in the molars and are formed from food and chew buildup as molars have many divots.
- Smooth-Surface Cavities: These are not commonly found but occur in between teeth. With proper dental hygiene you will be safe from these cavities.
