Is it time to see the dentist?
Early detection is your best protection.
Dental decay can easily be prevented by understanding its process and controlling the risk factors around this process.
Dental decay is an infectious disease caused by bacteria which exists in the mouth and converts sugar into acid. The acid then attacks the enamel on two surfaces which causes decay and leads to cavities.
The decay process can be highly influenced by many risk factors such as lifestyle and frequent check up with the dentist. Lifestyle includes consumption of sugary foods and drinks and not enough teeth brushing and flossing.
In the early stages, people can't feel it. But as it progresses, it starts causing pain and can even lead to tooth loss.
To prevent unexpected toothache and the loss of teeth, the only key is having a regular dental check up and x-rays with the dentist. A 6 month interval is ideal. The dentist will help you identify the early decay lesions through the x-rays, and this can save you time and cost of fixing it.
