Rampant decay, meaning cavities everywhere, is a challenging problem to fix. Causes of the disease and time and cost of treatment are all obstacles to overcome. Many times, without definitive action to correct, these patients will end up losing most if not all their teeth.
Before: Notice decay near gumline and in between teeth. Areas of white/opaque enamel and loss of translucency indicates decalcification and the beginning stages of decay.
After: Day of delivery. Crowned/ bridged all upper teeth. One canine tooth had been extracted and is a pontic (fake tooth) on a bridge. Patient was extremely happy with results.
