In recent weeks I’ve paid several visits to my dentist for treatment of a tooth with a deep cavity that had to be crowned and may still need a root canal – not my idea of a good time. This experience caused me to do quite a bit of research about tooth decay.
What is tooth decay and when does it occur? It occurs when your teeth are frequently exposed to foods containing carbohydrates such as starches and sugars like soda pop, candy, cake and even sticky fruits. The primary options for treating tooth decay are filling, crown, root canal or extraction. The goal of treatment is to preserve tooth structures and prevent further destruction of the tooth.
Don’t you love the way computer technology has enhanced our lives? In the last 20 years it has made huge differences in our professional and personal lives. It has affected the way we communicate, network, pay bills and even meet people. It is wonderful – when it’s working. When it isn’t working, it’s not so wonderful.
