Teeth don't have the ability to repair themselves.
Any subsequent work a tooth needs is potentially more complex and costly.
The Restorative Cycle explained...
Teeth are almost unique in your body, as they have almost no ability to heal themselves if they get damaged. If they did, there would be a lot less dentists around!
Despite the wonderful dental materials available to dentists, nothing is a good as your natural tooth.
If your tooth does need restoring, it potentially sets the tooth on a path leading to more time-consuming and expensive work in the future.
When discussing restorations we mainly mean fillings, onlays, veneers, crowns and bridges.
It is for these reasons why dental professionals place so much emphasis on preventing dental problems in the first place. Prevention is ALWAYS better then cure.
