Cavity treatment

What is a dental cavity?

A dental cavity is an infection caused by bacteria that convert sugars into acid. This acid attacks the enamel, the tooth's protective outer layer, and then the dentine. If left untreated, the cavity progresses to the dental pulp at the centre of the tooth, causing pain and infection and potentially leading to tooth loss.

Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine in Paris: dental cavity treatment

At Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine, we always favour the least invasive solutions to preserve as much of your tooth's natural structure as possible.

Accurate, personalised diagnosis of dental cavities
Accurate, personalised diagnosis of dental cavities

During your initial consultation, our dentists carry out an oral examination supplemented by X-rays. This allows us to assess the extent of the cavity and recommend the treatment plan best suited to your needs.

Treatments tailored to different types of dental cavities

The type of treatment will depend on the depth and extent of the cavity.

Treatment for a simple, shallow cavity

This treatment is suitable for a cavity that has affected only the enamel and dentine, without reaching the pulp. We remove the decayed part of the tooth and restore it with durable, natural-looking materials that blend seamlessly with the colour of your teeth.

Treatment for a deep cavity affecting the pulp

When the cavity is more advanced and has reached the tooth's pulp, root canal treatment is required. This procedure removes the infected pulp tissue to prevent severe infection, intense pain and necrosis. The tooth may be weakened after root canal treatment. To protect it and restore full function, we may recommend a dental crown, a strong and natural-looking solution.

The last resort: extraction

When a cavity is too advanced and the tooth can no longer be saved, extraction may be the only way to protect your oral health. Our dentists will then advise you on the best replacement options, such as dental implants, to restore the appearance and function of your smile.

Preventing cavities: our advice for a healthy smile

The best way to fight cavities is to prevent them. At Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine, we provide personalised advice to help you maintain good oral hygiene:
  • Effective daily brushing: Brush your teeth at least twice a day, ideally after every meal, for two minutes using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
  • Using dental floss or interdental brushes: These tools clean the spaces between your teeth that a toothbrush cannot always reach, removing plaque and food debris.
  • Regular dental appointments: An annual visit to the dentist is necessary for a check-up and professional cleaning. This allows cavities to be detected at an early stage and treated before they worsen.

Cavity treatment FAQs

Is the procedure painful?

Cavity treatments are generally painless.

How long does a simple cavity treatment take?

Treatment for a simple cavity generally takes around 30 minutes, depending on its size and complexity.

What should I do after cavity treatment?

After treatment, you should avoid eating until the anaesthetic has worn off. Follow your dentist's advice on oral hygiene and any temporary dietary restrictions.

Can cavities return after treatment?

Yes, a new cavity can develop on the same tooth or another tooth if good oral hygiene is not maintained and risk factors persist. This is why prevention and regular check-ups are strongly recommended.
