Common treatments include the restoration of teeth with dental fillings, extraction or surgical removal of teeth which cannot be restored, scaling of teeth to treat periodontal problems and endodontic root canal procedures to treat abscessed teeth.

In addition, dentists also encourage prevention of oral diseases by regularly scheduling checkups for professional cleaning and evaluation every six months.
