Superficial tooth decay treatment is performed at an early stage of caries when decay affects only the outer layers of the tooth, such as the enamel and superficial dentin. At this stage, symptoms are often minimal or absent.

The procedure involves removing the decayed area and restoring the tooth with an appropriate filling material. Early treatment helps stop the progression of decay, preserve healthy tooth structure, and avoid more complex procedures. Superficial caries treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and essential for maintaining long-term oral health.
