Research has shown that most people have a 95% chance of experiencing some tooth decay in their lifetime. When tooth decay does occur, it is highly important to remove the decay, clean the tooth and repair the tooth with some type of restoration. Additionally, lost or missing teeth need to be replaced to protect your overall oral health. This is true of adult dentition as well as the primary dentition, or "baby teeth." It is important to maintain the health of the baby teeth even though they will eventually be replaced because they are necessary for eating, speaking, proper growth and development of the jaws and placement of the permanent teeth.
In this section, we will look at the various restorations we can use to protect and restore decayed or missing teeth.
