You may never know you have a cavity even as you're reading this article right now

 

This is because many cavities don’t cause pain in the beginning, it can be hard to realize that a problem exists. 

 

Just Imagine that!

 

So what's a cavity?

 

A cavity, also called tooth decay, is a hole that forms in your tooth. Cavities start small and gradually become bigger when they’re left untreated

 

Anyone with teeth can develop cavities, including babies.

Finding out that you have a cavity might come as a surprise. This is especially true if you think you have a good oral hygiene routine. 

However, even if your dentist delivers this news, there are ways to treat a cavity and prevent new ones from forming.

Everyone has bacteria in their mouth. After eating or drinking foods with sugar, bacteria in your mouth turn sugar into acid. 

Plaque starts forming on your teeth soon after eating or drinking anything sugary.

Tooth cavities are caused by plaque, a sticky substance that binds to teeth. Plaque is a combination of:

• bacteria
• saliva
• acid
• food particles

So what do you do when your dentist or you discovers a cavity on time or during a routine check up?

Simple!

Use a fluoride treatment which may help restore your tooth enamel and prevent further decay.

There are different treatments and these depend on severity of the case

You can have dental treatments such as: 

Tooth fillings

Your dentist uses a drill and removes decayed material from a tooth. Your dentist then fills your tooth with a substance, such as silver, gold, or composite resin.

Crowns

For more severe decay, your dentist may place a custom-fit cap over your tooth to replace its natural crown. Your dentist will remove decayed tooth material before starting this procedure.

Root canal

When tooth decay causes the death of your nerves, your dentist will perform a root canal to save your tooth. They remove the nerve tissue, blood vessel tissues, and any decayed areas of your tooth. Your dentist then checks for infections and applies medication to the roots as needed. Finally, they fill the tooth, and they might even place a crown on it.

Dealing with pain

Cavities and tooth decay can be the cause of a lot of pain and discomfort. You may want to find ways to soot the irritation temporarily while you wait for your dentist appointment

• Keep up your oral hygiene routine : Continue to brush and clean all parts of your mouth, including any sensitive areas.
• Try over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers : Check with your doctor if you can use OTC anesthetics.
• Watch what you eat : Stay away from extremely hot or cold foods when eating or drinking.

You may cause damage to your tooth that can’t be reversed if you put off seeing a dentist. At this point, the only way to fix the cavity is for your dentist to remove the tooth and replace it with an implant or bridge.

 

Preventing tooth cavities

Tooth cavities are a common dental problem, but you can reduce your risk by doing the following:

• Brush your teeth at least twice per day with a fluoride toothpaste.
• Floss at least once daily.
• Eat fewer sugary and acidic foods, like sweets, candy, juice, soda, and refined carbohydrates.
• Limit snacking between meals.
• Consider getting dental sealants on your teeth.

The following foods can help fight tooth decay:

• fiber-rich fruits and vegetables
• calcium-rich foods
• xylitol sugarless chewing gum
• unsweetened black or green tea
• water with fluoride

Also, don’t forget to visit your dentist at least twice per year for regular teeth cleanings. This allows you to get treatment for any problems your dentist finds, and it will help prevent future dental problems.
