"My cavity doesn't hurt... so why should I fix it?" 🤔🦷
This is one of the most common questions dentists hear.
The truth is that cavities don't always cause pain in the beginning. By the time a cavity hurts, the decay may have already reached the deeper layers of the tooth, leading to more complex and expensive treatment.
A small cavity can often be treated with a simple filling.
A large cavity may require:
❌ A root canal
❌ A crown
❌ Or even a tooth extraction
The earlier you treat tooth decay, the easier it is to protect your smile and avoid bigger dental problems.
Don't wait for pain to tell you something is wrong.
