Stage 1

The dull spot on the tooth’s surface may be decay. Brushing teeth with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing may prevent it from becoming a tooth cavity.

Stage 2

The tooth decay is now a cavity. It has gone through the tooth’s hard surface layer.

Stage 4

If the cavity is not filled, it can cause bigger problems deeper in the tooth. This is why it’s important to see your dental team regularly.

If you do have tooth decay, Dr.Nechupadam Dental  team may talk to you about fillings, fluoride, or other tooth decay treatment choices.
