Cavities

What can cause the hardest substance in the body turn to mashed potatoes? ???? Cavities!

Everyone has heard about cavities. Most know the sugar that we eat provides bacteria food for cavities to start and grow. Tooth decay happens when the acids in our mouth made by bacteria are eating the sugars in our food. That strong acid turns our teeth to mush.

However, have you heard of early decay? Symptoms might include:

• Sensitive to sweets, food, or cold temperatures.
• Brown-stained pits or craters in your teeth.
• Broken teeth or broken old fillings.

The solution to cavities depends on many things including: how large the cavity is, where the cavity is on the tooth, and where the tooth is in the mouth. Contact Dr. Midei to help you fix your cavities.
