By the time it hurts... it has usually been there for a while.
Here is why that matters:
Children are a great example of this.
Cavities in kids often go undetected because children do not always communicate discomfort clearly. By the time a parent notices something is wrong the decay has often progressed significantly.
Routine checkups for children are not just about cleaning their teeth. They are about catching the things kids cannot tell us about yet.
If your child is due for a visit please do not put it off. 📞
