How To Tell If You Have Cavity?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Whenever it comes to teeth, the cavity is the unseen enemy, which always threatens you. Brush your teeth twice, or you will get a cavity. Eat more sweets, and you will get a cavity. And there are many more ways in which you are supposed to get a cavity. But what exactly is cavity is unknown to many.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is A Cavity?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In dental jargon, it is called caries or tooth decay<\/a>. Cavity is permanent damage to the outer part of the teeth that looks like small holes or openings. There can be one or many cavities on a single tooth. It is a common problem around the globe and is found in almost most children, teenagers, and adults.<\/span><\/p>\n

What Does A Cavity Look Like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A cavity cannot always be seen. If it is large enough, you can see it, else an X-ray detects it. It looks like small black dots or holes. If it is only starting, it may look like a tiny dot. If you have ignored it for far too long, the entire tooth can go black,<\/a> spreading it to the surrounding teeth. There is a possibility that you cannot see it, but your teeth are suffering side-by-side.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Does it Form?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are two types of bacteria in your mouth. Good bacteria are found in saliva and fluoride<\/a>. The bad bacteria feed on sugar. With sugar, these bacteria form acids. These acids are bad for your tooth enamel and break the protective coating. To fight this acid, fluoride comes into action. It contains all the minerals<\/a> which can reverse the damage caused by acid.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why it is always recommended to use a toothpaste or mouth rinse that contains fluoride<\/a>. But if you eat lots of sugary and starch-loaded food, the fluoride can\u2019t fight back, and thus, the enamel wears down, causing cavities. So, before you spot the dots<\/a>, if you see white spots on your teeth, it is an indication that your protective minerals are running out.<\/span><\/p>\n

How To Tell If You Have Cavity?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Several symptoms indicate the presence of cavities in your mouth. Look out for these-<\/span><\/p>\n
