Patients Concern

Disease/Condition Glossary

Dental cavities: A cavity, also called a dental cavity or caries, is a permanently damaged area in the teeth which develops into tiny holes. Cavities are caused by bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well. Untreated cavities can cause infection, toothache, and tooth loss. Plaque starts forming after eating/drinking anything sugary. The bacteria in the mouth turn sugar into acid. The acid in plaque erodes the tooth enamel leading to tooth decay. Symptoms of tooth cavities include tooth pain, tooth sensitivity, black/white staining on the teeth, and a visible hole in the tooth.
