What Is a Cavity?

About this video

Cavities can cause more damage than you might think.

As bacteria eat away at the tooth, that little area can eventually lead to:

• Sensitivity

• Pain or discomfort

• A weakened tooth

• Even a broken tooth

And the longer it goes untreated, the more involved treatment can become.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always worth getting it checked sooner rather than later.
