Causes of Tooth Decay (Caries) — Symptoms, Treatment, and Prevention
Tooth decay is one of the most common dental diseases. It develops when harmful bacteria in the mouth turn sugars into acids that gradually destroy the enamel and dentin.
Main Cause of Tooth Decay (Caries)
The leading theory of caries development is the chemo-parasitic theory:
bacteria + carbohydrates → acids → enamel demineralization → cavity formation.
Risk Factors
- Poor or irregular oral hygiene
- Frequent consumption of sugary foods and drinks
- Low fluoride exposure
- Defective or old fillings

Popular Questions
What is a rubber dam and why is it used?
A rubber dam is a latex sheet used to isolate one or several teeth during treatment.
A rubber dam allows the dentist to:
achieve maximum dryness of the working field;
protect soft tissues (tongue, cheeks, lips);
prevent instruments or materials from entering the mouth or airway;
avoid constant rinsing or the use of cotton rolls;
prevent chemical agents from contacting the oral mucosa, which could cause burns.
Using a rubber dam is an essential requirement for safe and high-quality dental treatment.
How to Check the Quality of a Dental Filling Yourself
Imagine this: you’ve just had a restoration done, but you’re not sure how to evaluate its quality.
Here is a simple checklist to help you assess the result:
🌿 No visible borders between the filling and the natural tooth.
🌿 The filling should match the natural anatomy of the tooth (it should not look flat or bulky).
🌿 Dental floss should pass between the teeth with light resistance and come out with a “click,” without tearing or fraying.
🌿 The filling should not feel uncomfortable.
A high filling will not “wear down on its own.” Even a slightly raised filling can lead to joint problems.
We photograph every stage of the treatment.
At the end, the dentist shows you all photos, X-rays, and explains the work that was done.
Does Dental Treatment Hurt?
Our goal is not only to provide high-quality care but also to eliminate any discomfort.
That’s why during dental treatment we use effective anesthesia and additional techniques that help ensure a completely comfortable experience.
How Long Does a Dental Filling Last?
A properly placed filling can last 5–10 years, provided you maintain good oral hygiene at home, visit your dentist every six months for check-ups and professional cleaning, and avoid factors that may shorten the lifespan of a composite restoration.
It’s important to know that a composite filling is made of a resin material that hardens under a curing light.
