Cavities, the result of tooth decay, occur when acid-producing bacteria break down the enamel. As this protective layer weakens, small holes begin to form, allowing the bacteria to move deeper into the tooth. If the decay reaches the dentin, the softer layer beneath the enamel, the tooth may become sensitive and more prone to further damage. Over time, the infection can spread to the pulp, where nerves and blood vessels are located, causing pain, inflammation, and even abscesses. Poor oral hygiene, frequent snacking on sugary foods, and lack of fluoride can accelerate this process. Maintaining regular brushing and flossing habits, along with routine dental checkups, plays a vital role in preventing cavities and keeping your teeth strong.
