Myth or fact? 🤔 Drop your answer below before you read on 👇
It's a MYTH, and it's one of the most common reasons people delay a visit.
Pain is usually a late signal, not an early one. Tooth decay often starts in the enamel, where there are no nerves, so it can quietly work its way inward for months before you feel a thing. By the time it aches, it's often reached the nerve and needs more than a simple filling.
Gum disease is even quieter. Early gum disease rarely hurts at all, the first signs tend to be bleeding when you brush, or gums that look a little red or puffy.
This is exactly what a check-up is for. We can spot the small stuff on an x-ray or during an exam, long before it becomes the kind of problem you can feel.
If it's been a while, there's no judgement here. Let's just take a look.
