Cavities and Dental Decay

Preventive and Restorative Treatments

Protecting Your Teeth from Decay

At Eddie Kao DDS, we help patients of all ages prevent, detect, and treat tooth decay with gentle, advanced care. Decay occurs when bacteria and plaque weaken the enamel, allowing acids to damage the teeth. If left untreated, this can lead to pain, infection, or even tooth loss.


Our team emphasizes prevention through regular checkups, cleanings, and patient education. With modern technology and personalized care, we work to strengthen your teeth, protect your oral health, and reduce your risk of future decay.
