Cavity PreventionLake CountyPark CountySummit CountyPrimary Care & Dental Resources
When does a cavity turn into dental work?
There are three layers of the tooth:
Enamel – the top layer
Dentin – the middle layer
Nerve tissue – the deepest layer
If a cavity is detected in the enamel or dentin layer, a simple filling is usually enough to repair it. However, if left untreated, the decay can reach the nerve tissue—the deepest part of the tooth. At that point, a root canal is necessary to save the tooth. If still untreated, the infection can spread into the bloodstream, potentially making your child very sick.
What are the signs that dental work is needed?
If you have a cavity that has reached the nerve tissue, you may experience some or all of the following symptoms:
Toothache when pressure (such as chewing) is applied to the tooth
Tooth sensitivity to heat or cold
Discoloration of the tooth
Swelling or tenderness of the gums
Boil near the infected tooth
📌 What Are Cavities?
Cavities (dental caries) are permanent holes in the teeth caused by the buildup of plaque—bacteria that feed on sugars and produce acid that weakens enamel.
