  • How do I know if I have a cavity?

    Published on

    Sometimes you don’t even need a visit to your family dentist to know you have a cavity. You can see it, feel it, and sometimes even taste it. Yet, there are times when you have a cavity and are not aware until your family dentist does a clinical exam or takes x-rays. This is one of the top reasons why it is important to keep up to date with dental visits, so that if you have a small cavity, it can be diagnosed and treated early. Many people still wonder, is there a way to know they have a cavity if they have not visited the dentist in a while. While going to the dentist is the most effective way to get your teeth checked, there are numerous indications that you may have a cavity and need a dental visit for a restoration.
