Tooth Decay
Tooth Decay Treatment in San Diego County
Tooth decay is a common problem that dentists treat every single day; however, that doesn't mean it should be taken lightly. As an issue that can have serious consequences if it's left to grow, decay should be treated quickly to prevent negative long-term effects on your health. At A+ Family Dentistry, we help patients get rid of damaging tooth decay so that they can restore their oral health and enjoy their smile for years to come.
What If I Ignore Tooth Decay?
If you ignore tooth decay, it will only get worse. The decay will continue to eat away at your tooth enamel, and the cavities will become larger and more numerous. This can lead to pain, infection, and tooth loss. In severe cases, the decay can spread to the nerves and blood vessels inside your teeth, which can be extremely painful and may require extensive dental work to treat.
What To Expect During Tooth Decay Treatment
The way that we treat your tooth decay will depend on the extent and the location of the decay. We will work with you to determine the best course of action in restoring your oral health. For small patches of decay and minor cavities, you can expect to get a filling. For more extensive decay, you may need a crown or a root canal.
At dental appointments, one of the ways we can treat tooth decay is by doing a deep cleaning. This involves removing the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) that has built up on your teeth, as well as any decay that may have already occurred.
Signs You Have Tooth Decay
There are several signs that you have tooth decay, including but not limited to:
- Sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures
- Visible holes or "cavities" in your teeth
- Pain when chewing or biting
- Bad breath
- Discolored teeth

We're proud of the relationships we build — here's what our San Diego, Sorrento Valley, and Poway patients are saying.
"A+ dentistry has been awesome! I hadn't been to the dentist in over a year, so they took a full scan of my mouth and explained in detail every step I should take to improve my hygiene and any procedures they recommended. They were transparent on each service and did not try to sell me anything."
"10/10. The best dentist I've ever been to, and I've been to quite a few considering I move around a lot. Dr. Victor, Jahaida, and staff are very kind. They take pretty good care of you."
"I've been coming to A+ for years for cleanings, fillings, and Invisalign. Everyone has been amazing, from the dental hygienists to dental assistants, the doctors and the front desk staff."
