🚨 A cavity is not just a dental problem — it’s a bacterial infection that can spread beyond your mouth

What starts as minor enamel damage can silently progress deeper into the tooth, allowing harmful bacteria to move beyond the mouth and affect the body.

When decay reaches the dental pulp, a dental abscess may form. From there, bacteria can spread to the jaw, facial spaces, or even enter the bloodstream.

This is why cavities are dangerous early on — they often cause no pain at first. Waiting for symptoms usually means the infection is already advanced.

Prevention protects more than your teeth.
Good oral hygiene, reduced sugar intake, and regular dental check-ups support both oral and overall health.
