Tooth decay is one of the most common dental problems โ and one of the most preventable. Catching it early keeps treatment simple.
Decay begins when bacteria feed on sugars and produce acids that soften and erode the enamel. Early on it causes no pain and may show only as a white or dark spot. As it deepens into the tooth, it can cause sensitivity, then toothache, and eventually reach the nerve.
The earlier decay is caught, the simpler the fix โ an early cavity needs just a filling, while advanced decay may need a root canal or extraction. Regular check-ups catch it before it hurts.
