The most common treatment is filling the cavity, which can prevent further expansion of the decay and protect the tooth from bacterial invasion. Another treatment option is dental implantation; implants can fill the cavity, improve the tooth's appearance, restore its function, and effectively prevent further progression of decay. Additionally, crown placement may be considered to protect the tooth from bacterial infection and restore its appearance, making the tooth look healthier. If you have any concerns, please consult a qualified dentist.
