What causes cavities?
It is very important to know the causes that cause cavities, as well as how to identify the symptoms: Tooth decay are caused by bacteria in dental plaque formed by remains of food or drink not removed from our mouth.

When caries is in an incipient phase there are no symptoms, however if it is already advanced it can cause dental pain / sensitivity to sweet, cold or heat.
When not treated in time, it can evolve in an infectious way and create the formation of an abscess (pus) that can cause from acute pain to swelling in the face and fever. and this is where a root canal should be performed:
The best way to detect them in time is by carrying out your annual checks.
Endodontics, the last option to save a diseased tooth!
You have probably heard the term "root canal" as the root canal procedure is commonly called. It is one of the most used treatments in Dentistry and its purpose is to save a tooth that is considered dead, sick or damaged.
Although there are other factors that can lead to this situation, the truth is that most of the time this problem is caused by the existence of deep cavities.
