English term or phrase:
Filling a cavity
Spanish translation:
empaste/realizar un empaste
English term
Filling a cavity
El texto en cuestión dice:
Routine dental work (***filling a cavity*** or cleaning of teeth) may require pre-treatment with antibiotics to prevent
infection. Please consult with your transplant coordinator prior to dental procedures. Your dentist can consult
with the transplant physician regarding the protocol.
Yes, you should contact the transplant team prior to dental appointments because dental procedures, including routine dental work (***filling a cavity*** or cleaning of teeth) may require pre-treatment with antibiotics to prevent infection.
Una "cavity" es una caries, pero en el párrafo inmediato anterior hablan de "tooth decay" (Fluoride is an excellent preventative against tooth decay), que también es una caries. Hay alguna manera de diferenciarlo? "Rellenar una cavidad" me parece muy literal, pero puedo estar equivocada.
MIL gracias de antemano!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

To treat a cavity your dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and then "fill" the area on the tooth where the decayed material was removed. Fillings are also used to repair cracked or broken teeth and teeth that have been worn down...
Los empastes dentales son un tratamiento de odontología restauradora utilizado para reparar pequeñas fracturas dentales, cavidades provocadas por la caries dental o superficies dentales dañadas de cualquier otro modo.

: Sí, "obturación" u "obturación dental". De todas formas, "empaste" también es correcto y tiene un uso más generalizado, por lo que quizás sea el término más indicado para los destinatarios de este texto.

Gracias, Virginia. Claro que sí, para estos destinatarios es más claro hablar de empaste.
