What Is Dental Decay?

Dental decay occurs when harmful bacteria in your mouth produce acids that erode tooth enamel. This process creates cavities, which, if untreated, can penetrate deeper into the tooth and cause pain, infection, or even tooth loss.

Stages of Dental Decay

Initial Enamel Decay
- Signs: White spots or discoloration on the tooth surface.
- Treatment: Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and reverse early decay.
Dentin Decay
- Signs: Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods.
- Treatment: Fillings to restore the affected area and prevent further damage.
Pulp Damage
- Signs: Severe toothache, swelling, or infection.
- Treatment: Root canal therapy to save the tooth and eliminate pain.
Advanced Tooth Decay
- Signs: Abscess, pus, or visible holes in the tooth.
- Treatment: Extraction or advanced restorative solutions like dental implants.

Causes of Dental Decay

Poor oral hygiene habits (infrequent brushing and flossing).
Consuming sugary or acidic foods and drinks.
Lack of fluoride exposure.
Dry mouth caused by medications or medical conditions.
Genetic factors affecting enamel strength.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

I have been travelling to India from the UK for the past 15 years and learnt of Dr Shetty’s dental surgery 18 months ago from a very good business contact in Mumbai. Experienced dental treatment, friendly smiling faces, No waiting list, and most of all ” No Pain. ” Needless to say i have now abandoned my UK Dentist !!!!!

Stephen Samuels (U.K.)

Like most, for me a visit to the dentist was not looked forward to. Being introduced to Dr. Shetty has completely changed my outlook on dentistry. Albeit my UK dentist is has a friendly manner and sate of the art practice, I rarely visit unless in an emergency. After attending my first appointment with Dr. Shetty for a filling, I eagerly returned 6 months later for a route canal and my first cosmetic work. Living in London, my visits to Mumbai will always take in an appointment or two at the dentist. I look forward to having more improvements done to correct years of neglect! Dr Shetty is definitely my preferred
