Left untreated, the cavity will become larger and destroy other layers of the teeth, leading to pain, infection, abscesses, and loss of teeth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1479302716156{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]A cavity can easily be detected during your annual check-up. However, a cavity can form between visits, and while at first you may not have any symptoms, as the cavity grows, you may experience the following discomforts:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Toothache, from mild to severe<\/li>\n
  2. High sensitivity to hot or cold<\/li>\n
  3. Pain when you eat sweets<\/li>\n
  4. Pain when you apply pressure to the tooth<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1479302922835{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]A cavity may also be visible when inspecting the painful tooth:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Visible hole in the tooth<\/li>\n
    2. Coloured stains on the tooth, usually brown or black<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1487089978449{margin-top: 10px !important;}”]The best prevention is brushing and flossing daily, and visiting our clinic for regular teeth cleaning<\/a> and check-ups.<\/p>\n
