Cavities are the most common health issues among children and adults. These are permanently damaged sections of your teeth that form tiny holes. Cavities, also known as caries or tooth decay, are caused by different factors like constant snacking, presence of bacteria in your mouth, consuming sweets and not brushing your teeth properly.
Poor oral hygiene is one of the main reasons behind this condition. If cavities are not treated at the right time, they start affecting deeper layers of teeth. At the initial stage, you may not understand that you have a cavity. But, the symptoms gradually develop, which help you to detect the dental problem.
Look for these problems to detect the cavities:
Depending on the location of the cavity, the signs vary. At the beginning stage, there may not be any problem at all. With the decay getting larger and holes getting deeper, you may face signs like, sensitivity in tooth, mild or excruciating pain during consuming something hot, cold or sweet, sharp pain when you bite, recurrent pain in tooth without any obvious reason, noticeable pits or holes in teeth, formation of black, brown or white staining on the surface of a tooth and more.
When a cavity is formed, you may not be aware of it. However, with these noticeable changes in your teeth, you may feel the necessity to visit a dentist. To keep the cavities at bay, it is important to go for repeated dental inspection and cleanings.
Apart from this, regular flossing and brushing habits will protect your teeth from tooth decay. In case, you detect any of the aforementioned symptoms, consult your dentist as soon as possible.
