Catching cavities early

Digital X-rays and an intraoral camera help find cavities early, when a small filling is all you need. Regular cleanings and exams keep small problems small.

Caring for your fillings

Brush twice a day and floss daily.

Keep your regular check-ups so fillings can be checked over time.

Avoid chewing ice or very hard objects.
