Tooth decay is most commonly associated with tooth pain and severe discomfort – enough for the patient to urgently go to their dentist for immediate treatment. However, there are some cases when decay is already present but no pain is involved. This does not mean that the decay does not need professional attention just yet. Early detection will always be the best course to take to prevent dental problems from worsening into more serious concerns.
Regular tooth brushing may sometimes not be enough to prevent tooth decay. This is because there are some parts of your teeth and mouth that tooth brushing alone may not thoroughly clean. In addition, you will not be able to see all areas of your mouth even when using a mirror. On the other hand, the dentist or dental hygienist will be able to detect the earliest signs of tooth decay, making it possible for you to have the proper treatment before the problem becomes worse.
