I have mild decay in front tooth..
Can it be filled. If so how much it costs. I'm from Chennai. It's a very mild decay.. But I wanna fix it before it becomes bigger
Hello. You require an x-ray of the tooth to know the extent of spread of cavity in the tooth.
In case of superficial spread, only restoration (Filling) can be done. It is a simple painless procedure. Cavity must be restored at the earliest to avoid further spread of infection.
Incase of pulpal involvement, Root canal treatment is required.
Kindly visit a dentist for definitive diagnosis and treatment
