Is it time to see the dentist?
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. This bacteria can convert sugar into acid, the acid then attacks the enamel layer of the teeth and leads to cavities. In the early stages, people can't feel it, as it progresses, it starts causing sensitivity, pain and will eventually cause tooth loss.
The decay process can be influenced by the persons lifestyle such as smoking, consumption of sugary foods and drinks, inefficient teeth brushing and flossing. All these can add a significant impact on how quickly the decay progresses.
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.
Always remember, early detection is your best protection against teeth cavities.
