When we see our children in distress or sickness, our hearts break. Even the pain of a toothache can be very upsetting. While there are ways to repair cavities, we also like to educate our patients on the various causes of cavities and ways in which they can be prevented. Dr. Titania Tong is a wonderful general and pediatric dentistin the Central Hong Kong area with whom you can help your family enjoy excellent oral health.
Cavities are a common dental problem that stem from harmful oral bacteria which are sometimes referred to as dental caries. When a cavity develops, it is important to remove decayed tooth material and fill the hole caused by bacteria. Depending on the size of the cavity, repair may consist of a small BPA-free composite filling or may require a larger restoration such as an inlay, onlay, or crown. Rather than repair cavities, what we would prefer to do is help our patients avoid this uncomfortable dental problem with preventive care and education.
The first step in preventing cavities is to understand what can lead to this problem in the first place.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to tell if a cavity has formed until a tooth has been damaged. Sensitivity and pain are signs that a tooth has been affected by dental caries, and requires repair. Dr. Tong works with patients to detect dental problems using the latest diagnostic testing, and provides gentle care to repair tooth damage. She is also happy to provide patients with nutritional guidance that will help them enjoy healthier smiles.

Dr. Titania was born in Hong Kong, but she grew up in England, where she completed her undergraduate education and received her degree in dentistry from Guy’s Hospital Dental School at the University of London. She practiced general dentistry in London for a period of four years, and then returned to Hong Kong in 1987, where she spent the next decade working in a large group practice before establishing her own dental clinic in 1999.
