Teeth filling
My age 30 years. I had teeth sensitivity. Dentist took x ray of my teeth and said my cavities are deep enough. She suggested for teeth filling. Today teeth filling was done. She said if pain persists then root canal has to be done. What are the dos and don'ts after teeth filling. Y did she prefer teeth filling if root canal is needed? I'm confused. Also pls suggest some tips for teeth protection

Sometimes the treatment for a deep cavity could be a deep cavity management provided the decay is not very close to the pulp of your tooth. Many times, the decay has almost already reached the pulp which is considered a borderline between root canal and filling. Hence, in order to not invade too much of the tooth structure initially the dentist would recommend a deep cavity management with filling.
