This is important if you have a deep cavity, you need to get it treated as fast as possible. Its recommended to prevent abscessing and infection inside your jaw bone, and also preserve the tooth before its too far gone and you are forced to lose it. Thanks for your great question.
Generally speaking with cleaning it out and filling it.
U have to have it examined clinically and with an X-ray to see the extent of the cavity and accordingly the treatment plan can be framed, thanks.
A deep cavity is usually prepared in the same way as a typical cavity, if the decay is very close to the nerve we will sometimes leave a small amount under the filling. Sedative liners can be used under the filling material to help calm the nerve in deep fillings as well.
