Tooth decay is one of the leading reasons for trips to the dentist. Scientists have recently developed a unique, painless filling that will allow cavities to be repaired without drills or injections required. The new tooth-rebuilding technique helps the teeth to repair themselves. The method was developed at King’s College in London.

A dead tooth could kill you if it is left unattended. Many times people see discolouration in their tooth and they don’t worry too much about it. After all, it’s not usually causing any pain. Here is why it’s a bad idea to let it go:

So how long does a root canal take, really?? Though you might be less aggressive than a cheetah and have more patience, you still don’t want to be at the dentist all day and many times that is the exact reason you keep putting it off. Even quicker would be 15 minutes of prevention.
