What Are Cavities?

A cavity is a hole or damage in the tooth caused by bacteria and acid that break down tooth enamel. This happens when food particles and sugar stay on teeth for too long and produce harmful acids.

What Causes Cavities?

• Poor brushing and flossing
• Eating too much sugar and junk food
• Drinking soft drinks and sweetened beverages
• Not visiting the dentist regularly
• Dry mouth
• Weak tooth enamel

Signs of Cavities

• Toothache
• Sensitivity to hot or cold
• Black or brown spots on teeth
• Pain while chewing
• Bad breath
• Visible holes in teeth

If you notice any of these signs, visit a dentist immediately.
