Yes, of course.
Cavities on the side of the tooth most definitely can be filled unless the damage to the tooth is extensive enough to require placement of a crown instead
Typically, yes.
Cavities on the side of your tooth are filled. You have the responsibility to floss correctly and brush correctly every day. To keep your teeth and your body healthy for today and for the your future mouth and body health.
Good question, and sure the cavities on the side of the teeth could be filled as well.
Yes, it can be restored, depending on which side, different techniques required. Sometimes, if it is like a belt all around the tooth, a crown might protect the tooth integrity better.
Yes, cavities on the side of teeth can be filled. In fact, those are the most common areas where cavities start due to food and debris getting caught in the contact areas between two teeth. This is why flossing is so important.
Yes. A cavity on the side of a tooth can be filled. Most time it would require removed to healthy tooth structure to access and reach the decayed tooth structure. For this reason, it is important to catch as treat cavities early while they are small to preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible.
Absolutely! Cavities anywhere on the tooth need to be treated so they do not spread and get larger. The larger a cavity becomes, the higher the likelihood the tooth may need further treatments like a root canal, crown or even extraction. If you know you have a cavity, do not delay! Get it fixed as soon as possible.

Yes, cavities on the side of a tooth can be filled. They can be filled with a composite material so it matches the color of the tooth.

On the side of the tooth as in at the gum line? Depending on where it is on the side of the tooth and the extent of the decay, the answer is YES for most cases.
Hello,
Cavities on the side of a tooth can be filled. In fact they are filled every day. The specific tooth, specific side of the tooth, and the position of the tooth determines how the cavity is filled.
Most fillings done in a given day are on the side of back teeth. These type of fillings are usually associated with inadequate amount of flossing which usually is a reflection of the population. Most people brush their teeth daily but few floss daily or at all. That being said it is still possible to get a cavity between the teeth even with flossing as it is harder to clean between teeth. Hope this helps.
My best to you!
