Understanding Cavities: Causes and Prevention
Understand what cavities are, their causes, and how to prevent them effectively.
What are Cavities?
Cavities are holes in your teeth caused by decay. They occur when plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, forms on your teeth and produces acids that eat away at the enamel. Regular dental visits and good oral hygiene can help prevent cavities.
Signs of Cavities
Look out for tooth sensitivity, pain, or visible holes in your teeth. If you experience any of these symptoms, consult your dentist immediately.
Prevention is better than cure.
