The common symptoms include toothache, and mild sensation while eating or drinking cold or hot food items.
Causes of tooth decay are:
Dental Plaque is formed by bacteria when the sugar and starch are not cleaned off.
Acids in plaque reach the inner layers of teeth causing sensitivity
The bacteria and acid reach the pulp that has nerves and blood vessels.
The group of germs called mutants streptococcus causes tooth decay. These germs or bacteria build a yellowish film on teeth and erode the enamel. The main cause behind the problem is the lack of oral care in children.
Children either brush their teeth once or forget to brush them. Especially the toddlers are unable to clean their teeth properly. If the baby teeth are not properly taken care of, it can damage the permanent teeth also.

HOW TO PREVENT CAVITIES
In the case of one or more cavities, a dental filling is common for toddlers and children. The procedure involves the removal of the cavity and then filling the hole with a ceramic material.
If the decay is severe, it is treated by placing a dental crown. If the damage has reached the innermost layers then the dentists go for the extraction of the tooth.
Dental crowns are made of different materials like:
Metal Crowns that use an alloy of gold or any other base metal
Porcelain fused Metal Crowns that are more similar to your tooth color
Ceramic Crowns that are made of ceramic without the use of any metal
Zirconia Crowns offer superior results as compared to other material
TEETH CAP PRICE IN INDIA
Depending on the type of material used in making the teeth cap, the price of the teeth cap can range from INR 1500 to INR 20,000 approximately. However, the accurate cost will depend upon the type of dental crown, the number of crowns, the location, and the city where the patient resides.
Metal Crowns are cheaper and the cost of Zirconium Crowns is the highest on the list. But they give the best results and benefits in terms of appearance, compatibility, and strength.
