Click to WatchCavities do not always cause noticeable symptoms during their earliest stages. As the decay progresses, you may experience sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, discomfort when biting, persistent tooth pain, dark spots, or a visible hole in the tooth. A dental examination and X-rays can help determine whether decay is present and how far it has progressed. The earlier a cavity is treated, the more likely it can be repaired with a simple dental filling.
Do not wait for a cavity to become painful. Dr. John Ku and the team at W Plus Dental provide comprehensive dental examinations, tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, root canal treatment, and other restorative dental services in Washington, DC.
