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

Why a Dental Microscope Matters

A microscope allows the dentist to see microcracks and hidden carious areas without damaging healthy tissue.
Benefits include:

  • Minimal tooth structure removal

  • Precise detection of decay

  • High-quality aesthetic restorations

We use premium composite materials to restore natural tooth color, shape, and translucency.

Rubber Dam — A Standard of Quality

коффердам

A rubber dam is a latex sheet that isolates the tooth from moisture.
It ensures:

  • A completely dry working area

  • Protection of soft tissues

  • No contact with dental chemicals

  • More accurate and durable results

At Zdorovo Dental Clinic, the rubber dam is used for every caries treatment.

Steps of Caries Treatment:

  1. Examination and X-ray diagnostics
  2. Local anesthesia
  3. Rubber dam isolation
  4. Precise removal of carious tissue under a microscope
  5. Composite restoration placement
  6. Finishing, polishing, and bite adjustment

Every stage of caries treatment at Zdorovo Dental Clinic is performed with maximum precision so the tooth lasts a long time and retains its natural anatomy.

We recommend visiting your dentist every six months to detect caries at an early stage.

The cost of caries treatment is 3100–6800 UAH.

The price depends on the extent and complexity of the procedure. All caries treatment is performed under a dental microscope.
The cost includes: rubber dam isolation and anesthesia.

Popular Questions

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.

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.

 
 
 

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.

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.
