What causes a cavity to develop?Cavities develop because of an infectious process that causes progressive damage to tooth structure. Despite starting as a pinpoint defect on the outermost enamel layer of your tooth, untreated dental decay progressively compromises more and more healthy tooth structure as it works its way to the inner layers of your tooth.
Symptoms of tooth decayDepending on the extent of the cavity present in your tooth, you might experience anything from a little periodic tooth sensitivity to extreme and continuous discomfort. As untreated cavities deepen, they produce significant damage to the dental enamel and inner layers of the tooth. By continuing to put off care, irreversible damage to the nerve of the tooth, a dental infection, tooth loss, and more severe consequences to your overall health and well-being are possible.
