Tooth Decay Detection

Even when it doesn't hurt, a tooth is deteriorating even if it isn't painful. In order to prevent extensive tooth damage, it is simpler to detect decay at an early stage with increased magnification and bright lighting. Smaller cavities are far less difficult and expensive to cure.

Early tooth decay usually does not manifest many outward symptoms. Sometimes a tooth appears to be in good shape, but an x-ray will allow your dentist to determine whether you have any decay behind the enamel, any potential root infections, or any bone loss surrounding the tooth.
