Dental treatment in Łódź

What is caries treatment

Tooth decay (caries) is the breakdown of hard tooth tissue by bacteria in the mouth. It is the most common dental disease: according to the WHO, more than 90% of adults are affected. The key rule: the earlier treatment begins, the smaller the intervention and the lower the cost.

At iDenta clinic in Łódź, cavities are treated in a single visit: we remove the decayed tissue and place a tooth-coloured light-cured composite filling. Anaesthesia makes the procedure completely painless — even for those who fear the dentist.

Dental treatment in Łódź includes early-stage diagnosis: an intraoral camera and X-rays detect interproximal cavities invisible to the naked eye.

After filling placement

Anaesthesia wears off within 1–3 hours — do not chew on that side until full sensation returns, to avoid biting your cheek.

Mild sensitivity to cold and heat for the first 1–2 weeks is a normal reaction. Use a toothpaste for sensitive teeth. If pain worsens, spontaneous night pain appears, or the filling feels high — contact your dentist.

Composite fillings last 7–10 years with proper hygiene. Avoid cracking nuts, ice and hard sweets — these are the main causes of chipping.

Special cases in dental treatment

In some situations, a simple filling is not sufficient:

• Deep decay reaching the pulp — requires root canal treatment before filling
• Allergy to composite components — we use glass ionomer cement or ceramic inlays
• Destruction of more than 50% of the crown — a ceramic inlay or crown is indicated for lasting protection

Please inform your dentist of any past allergic reactions to dental materials or anaesthetics.
