How are cavities fixed at the Dentist?
To treat a cavity your dentist may numb you, then remove the decay with a drill, clean, and fill the area with a composite material(white) or amalgam(silver). The filling is touched up with a drill so your teeth close normally. ChaCha again!

About Dentist
Dentists diagnose and treat problems with teeth and tissues in the mouth. They also give advice and administer care to help prevent the patient from having future problems. They provide instruction on diet, brushing, flossing, the use of fluorides, and other aspects of dental care. They remove tooth decay, fill cavities, examine x-rays, place protective plastic sealants on children's teeth, straighten teeth, and repair fractured teeth. They also perform corrective surgery on gums and supporting bones to treat gum diseases. Dentists extract teeth and make models and measurements for dentures to replace missing teeth. They also administer anesthetics and write prescriptions for antibiotics and other medications.
