You brush. You floss. So why does your dentist sometimes find a cavity you had no idea was there?
Decay often hides in spots your toothbrush can't reach: between teeth, under old fillings, or deep in grooves. Without pain as a warning sign, cavities can grow quietly for months. That's exactly why routine checkups are so important. Your dentist has the tools and training to catch decay early, before it becomes a bigger problem. Regular exams are your best defense.
