“Cavities don’t hurt… until it’s too late.”
In their early stages, dental caries (cavities) silently erode the enamel—the outer protective layer of the tooth—without causing any pain. This is because enamel has no nerves. By the time a cavity reaches the dentin or the pulp, where nerves and blood vessels reside, symptoms like sensitivity and pain begin. At this point, the damage is often extensive and may require invasive treatment like root canal therapy.
Don’t wait for pain. Early detection through regular dental check-ups is the only way to stop cavities before they become serious.
