Cavity Treatment Near You

Cavities are areas of your teeth that have been permanently damaged and have developed in tiny gaps or holes. These dental issues, also known as tooth decay, are caused by a number of factors, including bacteria in the mouth, consumption of sugary beverages, and/or inadequate oral hygiene. Cavities and dental decay are among the most common dental health problems worldwide, affecting childrens, teenagers, and adults. Fortunately, dental cavity treatment in Flanders offers effective solutions to address this widespread concern

Our local dental professionals provide comprehensive care, from early detection to advanced treatments, ensuring that the beloved residents of Flanders have access to top-quality cavity prevention and treatment options.


Symptoms of Cavities

  • Pain or toothache that kicks in suddenly
  • Tooth sensitivity
  • Small holes in your teeth
  • Pain while consuming sugar
  • Brown, white, or black stains on your tooth

How are Cavities near you treated?


Treatment of a cavity depends on its severity. Some of the options are:

Tooth Fillings

We will remove the damaged parts of your tooth and then fill your tooth with materials that are the same color as the rest of your teeth.

Dental Crowns

We can restore your tooth with a custom-fit cap if the deterioration is severe. Before beginning this procedure, we will remove decaying tooth material and clean the surface.

Root Canal Treatment

When your nerves die as a result of tooth decay, we will perform a root canal treatment to maintain your tooth. The nerve, blood vessels, and any decaying parts of your tooth are first pulled out with high precision. Then, if required, we will scan for any infections and treat the roots of your tooth with medication. Lastly, we fill the tooth with a biocompatible material to seal it and prevent an infection. After the procedure, we may recommend a crown or other restorative option to protect and strengthen the tooth, ensuring its functionality and longevity. Our goal is to help you retain your natural tooth and restore your oral health.

Cavities can be avoided by making a few lifestyle changes, such as brushing twice daily, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, limiting snacks, and visiting your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings. 

If you are experiencing a toothache or have any discomfort, please schedule an appointment with your dentist to look for any newly formed cavities in Flanders, NJ.

GBT AirFlow – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT)?

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern dental hygiene protocol that focuses on removing biofilm (bacterial plaque) in a gentle, efficient, and highly effective way using specialized technology such as AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® instrumentation.

What is AIRFLOW®?

AIRFLOW® is an advanced device that uses a combination of warm water, air, and ultrafine powder (erythritol or glycine) to remove biofilm, stains, and soft deposits from teeth, implants, and gum pockets—without scraping.

How is GBT with AIRFLOW® different from a regular dental cleaning?

Traditional cleanings rely heavily on hand instruments and ultrasonic scalers.GBT/AIRFLOW®:

  • Targets biofilm first
  • Uses a gentle, warm spray instead of scraping
  • It is more comfortable, especially for sensitive patients
  • Reaches deeper into pockets and around implants
  • Reduces the need for manual scaling
Is AIRFLOW® safe for patients with sensitive teeth or gums?

Yes. The warm-water technology and fine powders make it much less abrasive than traditional methods. Many patients report no sensitivity during treatment.

Is AIRFLOW® safe for dental implants, crowns, and bridges?

Absolutely. GBT is designed to safely clean around implants (peri-implantitis prevention), ceramic crowns, veneers, bridges, and orthodontic brackets, without damaging surfaces.

Does GBT replace traditional scaling completely?

Often, yes—but not always.
Most soft deposits and biofilm are removed using AIRFLOW®.
If calculus (tartar) remains, the clinician uses PIEZON® PS ultrasonic tips, which are more conservative and comfortable than traditional scalers.

What powder is used in AIRFLOW®?

Most commonly:
Erythritol (14 μm) → very gentle, safe for all surfaces
Glycine (25 μm) → often used for periodontal pockets
Both powders are much finer and less abrasive than baking soda.

Who is a good candidate for GBT?
  • Patients with sensitive gums
  • Orthodontic patients
  • Implant patients
  • Periodontal maintenance patients
  • Children and teens
  • Patients who prefer a more comfortable cleaning
Does GBT hurt?

Generally no. AIRFLOW® is warm, gentle, and significantly more comfortable than traditional scraping. Most patients prefer it after trying it once.

Is AIRFLOW® messy?

New-generation AIRFLOW® devices use controlled warm water and fine powder—much cleaner than older polishing systems. Patients generally describe it as clean and refreshing.

Is GBT safe for patients with respiratory conditions?

Yes. The powder is ultrafine, and devices include high-efficiency suction systems. However, patients with severe respiratory compromise should discuss with their dentist first.

Is AIRFLOW® good for stain removal?

Very. It removes stains from coffee, tea, wine, and smoking faster and more comfortably than traditional polishing cups.

How often should GBT be performed?

Most patients benefit from GBT at regular 3-, 4-, or 6-month hygiene intervals, depending on their periodontal status.

The people are always friendly. The dentists and dental hygienists are top shelf. They are professional yet keep things light and easy. When I admitted I never have and never will floss they didn’t yell or put me in a time out. They encouraged and kept my teeth clean and cavity free regardless .
