Frequently Ask Question
Cavities, also known as dental caries, are permanently damaged areas in the hard surface of your teeth that develop into small holes or openings. Tooth decay refers to the process of the tooth structure breaking down due to bacterial activity and acid production.
Poor oral hygiene and a diet high in sugary or acidic foods and beverages are the main causes of cavities and tooth decay. When bacteria in your mouth feed on these sugars, they produce acids that attack the tooth enamel, leading to decay over time.
Preventing cavities and tooth decay starts with maintaining good oral hygiene practices. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and rinse with an antimicrobial mouthwash. Additionally, limit your intake of sugary and acidic foods and drinks, and schedule regular dental checkups and cleanings.
Early-stage cavities may not cause noticeable symptoms. As decay progresses, you may experience tooth sensitivity, toothache, visible holes or pits in the teeth, dark spots or stains on the teeth, and discomfort while biting or chewing. Regular dental checkups can help detect cavities before they cause significant pain or damage.
The treatment for cavities and tooth decay depends on the severity of the condition. In most cases, the decayed portion of the tooth is removed, and a dental filling is placed to restore the tooth’s structure. In more advanced cases, a dental crown or root canal therapy may be necessary.
