When there is a large cavity that is unable to be treated with a dental filling, it’s important to see the dentist about a dental crown or, in severe cases, a root canal treatment. Dr. Nicolas Dovey of Del Sur Ranch Dental in San Diego, CA is a general dentist who can assist patients with various dental health needs. When patients have developed holes in their teeth known as “cavities,” it is essential that they seek the help of an experienced 4s ranch dentist to address the problem before it becomes more significant, more expensive, and more damaging to the rest of the tooth. Especially large cavities, or aggressive tooth decay, may require restorative treatment to save the tooth and strengthen the tooth’s health and surrounding structure.
