Tooth decay is caused by bacteria (plaque) in your mouth which react with sugary and starchy deposits from food you eat. This reaction produces acid which damages the enamel over time and weakens the tooth.
Our dental office has taken measures for the safety of our patients and staff. We have adopted universal PPE measures as well as taking the temperatures of all patients and staff, social distancing, air purifiers, plexiglass barriers, anti-viral oral rinses in addition to our standard practices of universal precautions that we have been implementing for decades.
