One of the biggest myths about tooth decay is that you know of this as soon as they appear in your mouth.
Small caries goes without symptoms. Pain that is associated with tooth decay occurs when it is already sufficiently developed and nerve damage. Regularly visit the dentist, in order to prevent caries that could grow as more serious problem. Truth is that caries occurs when not being cleaned regularly with brush and floss. Clean the inter-dental space, in order to reduce the risk of caries. Gnashing of teeth, mainly caused by stress and excitement, leads to chipping of small pieces from them. Gradually, this leads to the development of caries.
Absolute myth is that if one has sensitive teeth, then he/she many cavities. However, it is true that caries can cause excessive sensitivity of teeth. Another myth is caries of milk-teeth should not be treated because they would fall. However, before this occurs, caries could cause severe pain, although only in milk teeth.
