The Perils of Tooth Decay

Tooth decay is a leading cause of tooth loss but it can be prevented. Most people understand what cavities are and how they can destroy teeth but may not understand the term tooth decay. Tooth decay is when the tooth enamel is damaged, which leads to bacteria invading and creating cavities.

Symptoms of Tooth Decay

Cavities are a sign of tooth decay but you may feel it before you ever see a cavity. Other symptoms include tooth pain, sensitivity, and stains that are brown, white, or brown spots on your teeth. You should see a dentist once you get any of these symptoms.

End Tooth Decay with Preventive Oral Care

You can reduce tooth decay by putting some simple habits in your life. Brushing your teeth twice a day, using an antiseptic mouth rinse, and flossing daily helps. A major way to reduce tooth decay is to go for regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Insurance covers this type of dental care.
