cavity treatment
Fixing tooth decay
Cavity treatment is a dental procedure to repair tooth decay.
The dentist removes the decayed portion and fills the resulting hole, typically with amalgam, composite resin, or other materials.
I have a cavity treatment scheduled for Thursday.
The term covers everything from simple fillings to more extensive restorations like crowns or root canals.
