Signs of a Cavity: What You Should Know
Cavities are one of the most common dental problems, but catching them early can save your smile and prevent more serious issues. Knowing the signs of a cavity helps you take quick action and get the care you need.
Common Signs to Watch For:
-
Toothache or Pain: A persistent or spontaneous tooth pain, especially when eating something sweet, hot, or cold.
-
Visible Holes or Pits: Small holes or dark spots on your teeth might be a sign of decay.
-
Sensitivity: Sharp sensitivity to temperature changes or sugary foods.
-
Discoloration: White, brown, or black staining on the tooth surface.
-
Bad Breath or Taste: Unpleasant taste or chronic bad breath can sometimes signal decay.
If you notice any of these signs, don’t wait—schedule a dental check up. Early treatment at Thistlemoor Smiles Dental Clinic can help prevent cavities from worsening and keep your smile healthy!
