Catching the 5 Stages of Decay Did you know tooth decay actually happens in 5 distinct stages? 🦷Long before a cavity requires a major fix, it starts as a tiny white spot where minerals are losing the fight against acid. Enamel is incredibly strong—harder than bone!—but constant acid attacks from plaque can slowly break it down. Left unchecked, decay passes through the enamel, hits the dentin, and can eventually reach the tooth's sensitive nerve center.
The good news? Catching decay in the earliest stages means we can often reverse it without a drill. Schedule a comprehensive exam with our dental team today to keep your enamel strong!
