Easy Ways to Prevent Cavities
Good oral hygiene is the key to stopping tooth decay in its tracks and preventing cavities from forming. A dental cavity in Woodland Hills is the result of tooth decay due to lack of care for teeth. There are a few things you can do to make sure tooth decay doesn’t happen to you. One of the most important ways to ensure proper oral hygiene is to get an oral exam and dental cleaning every six months. While you should brush and floss at home every day, dental cleanings get rid of plaque and tartar that you miss. When you brush your teeth it is a good idea to brush with fluoride toothpaste after you eat or drink to keep sugary acids from eating away at your enamel. A healthy diet and avoiding snacking or sipping are also keys to great health. However, if you do experience tooth decay or a dental cavity in Woodland Hills, we can fix you right up with a filling.

A dental cavity at Woodland Hills Dental is an easy filling process
If you are looking for the most gentle, pain-free dental filling in Woodland Hills, come visit us at Woodland Hills Dental. The process of getting a filling in our office is simple and easy. We always start by numbing the patient near and around the tooth that has the dental cavity. After applying the numbing gel and giving it some time to work, we will get your mouth ready for your dental filling. Once Dr. Shawn Hosseini is ready to begin, he will start to remove and clean out the decayed portion of your tooth. While Dr. Shawn Hosseini removes the tooth decay, his assistant will hold the high-volume suction in your mouth to get the debris from the decay removal out of your mouth. Once the bigger portion of decay is cleared, the dentist will use hand instruments to be sure all the decay has been removed. Now that the decay has been removed, your filling can be placed. Depending on the type of material you chose for your filling, the process can be somewhat different. There are many materials available for dental fillings, but the most common are amalgam and composite resin fillings. Simply put, the dentist will fill the missing parts of your tooth with the material of your choice to make your tooth good as new. Once your filling has been created and hardened, Dr. Shawn Hosseini will make sure the filling is comfortable for your bite, then you are all set! Getting a dental filling in Woodland Hills is a short and simple process that many people have performed everyday.
