Tooth decay is a progressive condition. This label means that your tooth decay will worsen over time until you treat the problem. Bacterial buildup on your teeth occurs constantly. Bacteria will always aggregate over time, but you must consistently clean it away. This is why your dentist recommends brushing twice per day and flossing daily. If you fail to do so, tooth decay will start to wear down your enamel. Eventually a cavity will form. If left untreated, the cavity may evolve into a more serious infection that requires root canal therapy or even tooth extraction. Remove tooth decay as soon as possible. (more…)
