There are many people who get nervous about going to the dentist. They expect the procedures to hurt, and they try and figure out ways to avoid going. When it comes to coming to the dentist, one of the most common things we do is fill a cavity. The expectation is that this process is painful. More often than not, the process is simply foreign to the person, which is what makes them nervous. Sometimes, just knowing what to expect can help. Filling a Cavity is a Simple ProcessWhen you have a cavity, it means that there is a little hole in your tooth. Typically, this hole comes from outside the tooth, through the enamel, and into the dentin of the tooth itself. This hole is sometimes painful, but sometimes not. It really depends on how deep the cavity goes. To fill this cavity, we clean out the tooth and remove any of the decay from within that hole. We then take the filling material, put it in that hole, and seal it up. That is all we have to do. There is nothing super complicated about the process, but it still seems to inspire fear in some.

TESTIMONIALS What our patients are saying about us
"The first thought that comes to mind for this dental office is "kindness". Perhaps the Kind in Dr. Kindt's name was meant to be! Dr. Kindt and his staff offer the very best in dental care. I recently had extensive cosmetic dental work done and am delighted with the results. The great thing is that people notice my lovely teeth and I get lots of compliments when I smile. I consider Dr. Tim an artist when it comes to dental work. In addition to beautiful work the next best thing is that during hours of extensive work I experienced NO discomfort or pain. The final results combined with the utmost care for my comfort make it easy for me to give this dental office a five star rating." ~ Elaine S. Read More Reviews |
