So, how do you know if you have a cavity? Well, depending on the severity of your tooth decay, you may experience a variety of symptoms. Here are some the accompanying symptoms that go along with tooth decay.

– Nothing (in the early stages) 

– A toothache or spontaneous tooth pain 

-Tooth Sensitivity 

-Pain (Slight or Severe) when eating something sweet, hot, or cold

-Staining (brown, black or white) on the surface of your tooth

-Visible holes in your tooth. Those holes are cavities 

-Pain when biting down 

The best time to catch a cavity is in the early stages, when there are few, If any, symptoms. KEEPING YOUR TWICE YEARLY  (or more) VISITS WITH US WILL ENSURE WE CATCH THEM IN TIME !
