🦷 Dental Caries: The Silent Destroyer of Your Smile

Ever heard of tooth decay or cavities? That’s what dental caries really are. And while they might start small, if left untreated, they can lead to big dental problems.

At A-SQUARE DENTAL STUDIO, we believe that prevention is better than cure—and it all begins with understanding.

âś… What Are Dental Caries?

Dental caries are holes or damage in your teeth caused by bacteria. These bacteria feed on the sugars in the food you eat and release acids that slowly wear away your tooth enamel—the hard outer layer of your teeth. Over time, this damage creates cavities.

đź‘€ Signs You Might Have a Cavity:

  • Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet food and drinks

  • Pain while chewing

  • Visible holes or pits in the tooth

  • Brown, black, or white spots on the surface

  • A constant dull toothache

If any of these sound familiar—don't ignore them. Early treatment can save your tooth.

🍬 How Do Cavities Form?

  1. Plaque Buildup: Sticky plaque forms on your teeth every day.

  2. Sugar Attack: When you eat sugary or starchy foods, bacteria in the plaque feed on them.

  3. Acid Production: These bacteria produce acids that slowly eat away the enamel.

  4. Tooth Breakdown: Over time, this causes holes (cavities) in the teeth.

It’s like rust forming on metal—slow, silent, and damaging.

🔍 Can Dental Caries Be Prevented?

Absolutely! And it’s easier than you think:

  • Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste

  • Floss daily to clean between teeth

  • Limit sugary snacks and drinks

  • Get regular dental checkups and cleanings

  • Consider dental sealants or fluoride treatments for extra protection
