Dental fillings and cavity treatment in Tunis

An untreated cavity grows silently and eventually reaches the nerve of the tooth. The earlier it is treated, the simpler, shorter and more conservative the treatment: we keep as much natural tooth as possible.

We use tooth-coloured aesthetic materials and work under suitable anaesthesia for a comfortable treatment.

Signs that should make you book a visit

  • Sensitivity to cold, heat or sugar
  • A brown or black spot, or a small hole visible on a tooth
  • Pain when biting or chewing
  • A broken tooth, a chip, or an old filling coming loose

How we treat it

  • Examination and X-ray to assess how deep the cavity is
  • Local anaesthesia, then complete cleaning of the affected area
  • Rebuilding the tooth with a tooth-coloured composite
  • Bite adjustment and prevention advice

When a simple filling is no longer enough

If the tooth is badly damaged, a larger rebuild, or even a crown, may be suggested to protect it. If the nerve is affected, root canal treatment is needed.

This information is general and does not replace a consultation: every situation is different.

Your questions about: restorative care

Can a cavity heal by itself?

No. Once established, a cavity does not go away: only treatment stops it. A very early stage can sometimes be stabilised by prevention.

Is treating a cavity painful?

Local anaesthesia makes the treatment painless. Slight sensitivity may last a few days.

How long does a composite filling last?

With good hygiene and check-ups, several years. It can be repaired or redone if necessary.
