 A cavity or tooth decay is one of the most common things to go wrong with your teeth. Usually a person comes to know of a 'hole' when it starts hurting or paining. By then the cavity is too big and needs a root canal to treat the nerve of the tooth.  A routine check up done every year may help to detect decay before it gets too big. And we can avoid a root canal with a simple filling.

  SEALANTS The images on the left (Above and Below) are of teeth unspoiled by decay. As a protective measure you can choose to have sealants placed on them. This is similar to blocking all those grooves and crevices where food tends to lodge and trying to ensure that the tooth stays decay free. The "best" part? You may NEVER need to have that tooth drilled! yay!
