When you think of tooth decay, you probably know that they are intense toothaches. Would you be surprised to know that some X-rays actually have hidden bruises that are painless or even too small to be noticed? This means that some bruises can easily be overlooked! Hidden bruises can be dangerous, so it’s important to know how to spot them and more importantly, how to prevent them in general.<\/p>\n

What is Tooth Decay?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tooth decay is the main reason why our parents didn’t let us eat too much sugar when we were little! Caries is what results from tooth damage. It can affect both the outer coating (enamel) and the inner layer (dentin) of the tooth. Caries are often painful and can be easily detected by a dentist.<\/p>\n

However, there are some “hidden bruises” that are more difficult to detect. These hidden cavities are often overlooked in an examination because they are so deeply hidden between the pits and cracks of the teeth.<\/p>\n

These cavities form when plaque builds up in hard-to-reach places in your mouth. If occult cavities are left untreated, or worse, undetected, they can become more painful as enamel and dentin are destroyed. If they are still left untreated at this point, your tooth can begin to rot down to the root, causing the root to become exposed and extremely painful.<\/p>\n

Signs and Symptoms of Hidden Caries<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The good news is that there is a lot you can do to prevent these hidden bruises. The first and foremost thing to do is to maintain good oral health. This means brushing, flossing and rinsing daily.<\/p>\n

Routine dental exams every six months should also be included. Another thing you can do to avoid cavities is to avoid sugary foods, sticky foods, and other harmful substances that can damage your teeth. If you think you might have a bruise, there are a few signs to watch out for:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sensitivity to cold or hot temperatures<\/li>\n
  • Toothache<\/li>\n
  • Mild to sharp pain when eating or drinking something sweet, hot or cold<\/li>\n
  • Visible holes or pits in your teeth<\/li>\n
  • Brown, black or white staining on any surface of the tooth<\/li>\n
  • Pain when you bite<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How Do We Find and Treat Hidden Bruises or Cavities?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Because occult caries may not be detected with normal X-Ray technology, we have adopted advanced technology to help detect minor lesions at the earliest stage and help you preserve and preserve the essence of your tooth.<\/p>\n

    Intraoral cameras! The camera is the size of a dental mirror and images are displayed on a flat screen that lets you see what we see. Another technology we use in the prevention and treatment of caries is our air abrasion technology, which works like a mini sandblasting machine and removes tooth decay.<\/p>\n

    We know that having cavities is not a fun experience, and we want to do our best to make sure you receive the best care when it comes to the prevention and treatment of hidden cavities. You can prevent cavities by having regular dental cleanings.
