Question:

tooth decay on front teeth?

Just curious how do dentist get out decay on front teeth, do they use a drill? or do they scrape it out? just curious.

Answer:

Usually both. First the drill is used to remove the decay, and hand excavators, too. Then it's not just a question of removing the decay and slapping the filling in. The cavity preparation is shaped so as to hold the filling better. It would nice if they didn't need the drill, wouldn't it?
