What is Caries Management?

Dental caries, commonly known as cavities or tooth decay, is one of the most common oral health problems affecting both children and adults. It develops when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that gradually damage the tooth enamel.

At The Little Smiles, Dr. Pratima Goswami emphasizes early diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment to stop the progression of decay while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Our comprehensive caries management approach combines prevention, restoration, and patient education for long-term oral health.
