Some thrive on sugars left behind by your meals. Bacteria form a sticky film, excreting acids as they feast.<\/li>\n<li>Enamel is attacked \u2013 Bacterial acids dissolve minerals in the hard, protective coating on teeth. These tiny holes allow bacteria and acids to invade the dentin layer. It is softer and more vulnerable, so a cavity forms.<\/li>\n<li>Deeper problems \u2013 Without treatment, tooth decay advances to blood vessels and nerves at the core. The tooth may need root canal therapy or extraction from resulting infection and inflammation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Maintaining a healthy smile<\/h2>\n<p>The best way to avoid cavities is through prevention. Brush after eating and floss before bedtime. Maintain regular dental checkups at Bright Smiles Dental Studio so Dr. Garcia can detect problems early \u2013 when they can be <strong>treated most efficiently, comfortably, and economically<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite your best efforts, a cavity can occur.

Dr. Garcia provides dental restorations that blend beautifully:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tooth colored fillings \u2013 Strong composite resin, shaded to match teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Inlays and onlays \u2013 This type of porcelain restoration is a good choice for a cavity that is too large to support a filling.<\/li>\n<li>Porcelain crowns \u2013 A crown looks completely natural and strengthens a tooth that has had a large area of tooth decay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Call the <strong>general dentist <\/strong>in <strong>Glendale<\/strong> who cares about your oral health and the appearance of your smile \u2013 Dr. Carlos Garcia, <a class=\"p_number\" href=\"tel:+18182908788\">(818) 290-8788 <\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There was a time when having a cavity repaired meant living with a noticeable silver filling.
