Decayed tooth can be restored with proper dental fillings.
Next Steps
In absence of teeth fillings the affected teeth will keep on harbouring decay and bacteria and the condition may spread to other teeth, as well as  chipping and breaking off of tooth parts will continue.
Health Tips
Consult a dentist as soon as possible.
