Don't wait out these signs of early decay. If any sound familiar, book a check - a small filling now is smaller, faster and cheaper than a root canal later.
A small hole, pit or dark spot on the tooth surface is usually early decay that a filling can treat before it spreads further.
A sharp twinge when eating something sweet or cold often means decay has reached just under the enamel surface.
Food repeatedly catching in one groove or between two teeth usually points to a small cavity forming there.
Molars with deep natural grooves trap plaque easily a sealant closes them off before decay has a chance to start.
A filling removes decay from a tooth that already has a cavity, cleaning it out and closing the gap with tooth coloured composite shaped to match the tooth around it. A sealant works the other way round, coating a healthy tooth's grooves before decay has the chance to settle in.
Both are quick, straightforward procedures that Dr Purkait can usually complete the same day they're diagnosed, without the need for a second visit.

Every filling and sealant at Radiant 32 begins with a careful examination rather than going straight into treatment. Dr Madhulika Purkait checks the tooth thoroughly and takes an X-ray whenever needed to understand how deep the decay has spread, whether the surrounding tooth structure is healthy which treatment will provide the safest and most effective result. Before the procedure begins, every instrument is taken from a sealed sterilised pouch and opened at the chair in front of you. This careful approach keeps the process transparent, hygienic focused on your individual dental needs, so you know exactly what is being done and why throughout your appointment.
A small cavity rarely stays small on its own it's almost always quicker and cheaper to treat the earlier it's caught. Call the clinic or leave your number and Radiant 32 will call you back with a slot that fits your week.
Five answers to the questions patients ask most before a filling or sealant. Anything else, call the clinic and ask.
Most small fillings need little to no anaesthetic deeper ones are numbed first, so the appointment itself is usually comfortable throughout.
A well placed composite filling typically lasts five to ten years with regular brushing, flossing and check-ups, sometimes longer.
A filling repairs a tooth that already has decay. A sealant is a thin protective coating painted onto a healthy tooth's grooves to stop decay from starting there in the first place.
Sealants are most often placed on children's new back teeth, but adults with deep, decay-prone grooves can benefit from them too.
It depends on the size of the cavity and the number of teeth involved. At Radiant 32, the exact cost is confirmed after the exam, so nothing is estimated over the phone.
