Dental cavities / Dental Caries is damage to a tooth that can happen when decay causing bacteria in mouth makes acids that attack the tooth's surface or enamel. This can lead to a small hole in the tooth called caries. Caries start small and become bigger when they are left untreated. If tooth caries is not treated at initial stages it can lead to pain, infection and even tooth loss. People from all ages can get tooth decay.

When to see a dentist:

You may not be aware of the initial stages of cavities forming in your teeth as it doesn't show any signs or symptoms so it is important to have a regular dental checkups and oral prophylaxis, even when your mouth feels fine. Regular dental checkup and good oral hygiene is key to prevent caries. If you are having any problems please book an appointment at Magnum Smiles Dental Care for further details.
