Teeth give us so much trouble when something goes wrong to them. When you have a toothache, you are afraid to see the dentist because you think you will have a painful experience if you go to the clinic. That is because the dentist often has to deal with end stage decay which requires drilling of the tooth!
Now, if you can realize the tooth problem at earlier stage when it is not painful, you can avoid having uncomfortable experience at the dental clinic. There are ways which you and the dentist can do to treat tooth decay at early stage without needing extensive procedure.
This course aims to make you understand your teeth more in detail and to know the modern way of treating tooth decay. Enjoy the course!
