Spot Early Signs and Protect Your Teeth

Understanding Cavities and Tooth Decay

Cavities form when bacteria in plaque produce acids that gradually weaken tooth enamel. As decay progresses, it can lead to sensitivity, discomfort, and possible infection. Early detection through routine dental cleanings and exams can help prevent small concerns from becoming more advanced problems. Common factors that increase cavity risk include:


  • Inconsistent brushing and flossing
  • Frequent sugary or acidic foods and drinks
  • Dry mouth or low saliva flow
  • Deep grooves where plaque collects
  • Limited fluoride exposure or past decay history
