FAQ about cavities
How can I prevent cavities?
Prevent cavities by maintaining good oral hygiene: brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, limit sugary and starchy foods, and visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
What are the symptoms of cavities?
Common symptoms of cavities include toothache, sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and drinks, visible holes or pits in your teeth, and staining on the surface of a tooth.
How are cavities treated?
Cavities are typically treated by removing the decayed portion of the tooth and filling it with a dental material such as composite resin fillings. In severe cases, crowns or root canals may be necessary.
Can cavities go away on their own?
No, cavities do not heal on their own. Professional dental treatment is required to remove the decay and restore the tooth to prevent further damage and complications.
