Tooth decay (dental caries) typically begins in the enamel, which has no nerve supply, so patients feel no pain during the early stages. As the decay progresses into the dentin and eventually reaches the pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, pain and sensitivity begin. By this time, the damage is often extensive, and the tooth may require restorative or endodontic treatment, like a root canal.
Early-stage caries: No pain, easily treatable.
Late-stage caries: Painful, often needs complex treatment.
Neglected decay: May lead to abscess, tooth loss, or systemic infection.
Routine dental check-ups and preventive care are essential. Early detection through regular examinations can prevent irreversible damage, reduce treatment costs, and preserve natural teeth.
