Tooth decay
I have this problem since two years. Actually cavities were less and I ignored it. But now it's getting worse. I just want to know how long it takes for treatment. Can it be finished in one day?

Hello cavity fillings is a one session job .. then it is between you n your dentist for instance if more than 3/4 cavities are there you can split in two sessions ... If the cavities have progressed to deeper cavities .. after viewing the x-ray Dr will suggest a treatment plan
Its high time you do not delay this anymore as it can result to bigger problems later
Next Steps
