🇬🇧 🦷 What Happens If You Don’t Treat Cavities in Time
😬 “It’s just a small dark spot…” — that’s how cavities usually begin for many people.
But this tiny mark can turn into a serious problem if ignored!
Let’s take a look at what happens when a cavity isn’t treated in time 👇
1️⃣ Initial stage (early cavity)
At this point, it can often be treated with remineralization — no drilling, no pain.
Unfortunately, most people simply ignore it.
2️⃣ Moderate cavity
You start to feel sensitivity or mild pain.
A filling is now required to stop further decay.
3️⃣ Pulpitis
The infection reaches the nerve.
Pain becomes sharp, pulsating, and often worse at night.
Treatment involves cleaning the canals and removing the infected nerve.
4️⃣ Periodontitis and granuloma
The inflammation spreads beyond the tooth — pus or swelling may appear, and the tooth might eventually need to be extracted.
😱 All of this can be prevented if the problem is caught early!
Regular dental check-ups every six months aren’t a waste of time — they’re an investment in your health and smile 💙
