When it begins to form a cavity what is more certain is that not what you know, they are generally silent when you are starting. However, you can lose a tooth with a cavity when expanded, and reaches the nerve, or it eats away at the tooth.
A cavity can be generated and cause serious problems when we don't pay proper attention to the health of our teeth, we do not have a balanced diet, we have a poor oral hygiene and defer the regular appointments with the dentist.
What are tooth decay and why they occur?
Decay is a dental disease that causes permanent impairment in areas of the teeth. Occurs because of the acids generated by the bacteria found in our mouth.
The acids attack the enamel of the teeth, which is its protective layer. When the enamel is weakened, the bacteria can enter the tooth and begin to cause holes.
What happens when the caries progresses?
When decay begins to expand the first symptoms that can occur are color changes in the tooth, black spots and sensitivity.When you feel pain is a warning that the decay is near or has reached the nerve of the tooth.
When the decay reaches the nerve, the pulp of the tooth becomes inflamed or infected. In this case, the tooth is compromised and must be done a root canal treatment or endodontics.
However, if the decay is very large and has greatly affected the tooth must be extracted. In such cases it is recommended to do the replacement of the lost tooth with a treatment of Dental Implants.
