Understanding and Treating Tooth Decay

Tooth decay can lead to cavities, or holes, in your teeth. If left untreated, cavities can grow larger and reach the nerve endings in your tooth, causing pain and sensitivity. Worried about tooth decay? We’re here to help! Contact Us to schedule your consultation.

Common Causes of Tooth Decay

Tooth decay, also known as dental caries, occurs when bacteria produce acids that damage enamel. Key factors include:

• Poor oral hygiene leading to plaque buildup.
• Consumption of sugary or acidic foods and beverages.
• Dry mouth conditions reducing saliva production.
• Genetics influencing enamel strength.
• Neglecting regular dental check-ups.
