Tooth Decay

Tooth decay is an important, but easily treatable health problem. It is damage to a tooth's surface or enamel. It happens when bacteria in your mouth make acids that attack the enamel. Tooth decay may cause holes in your teeth which are called cavities. If it is not treated, it may cause pain, infection, sensitivity, and gum diseases. Tooth decay can be treated with dental filling treatment, root canal treatment, or pulling out the decayed tooth.
