Symptoms Of Cavities

Holes In Teeth

Having holes in teeth is an obvious symptom of a cavity. When a smooth surface cavity or a pit a fissure cavity form, they are holes at the surface of the tooth. The difference between them is the pit fissure cavity goes deeper into the tooth than the smooth surface cavity. These cavities can be visible but can also be seen on an x-ray.

If a cavity is left untreated, it can become a much more serious medical condition, resulting in the removal of the tooth or a root canal.
