The Importance of Early Cavity Detection
Tooth decay can start as early demineralization in the enamel. Without early detection, it may progress deeper into the tooth and require more extensive treatment. Routine checkups are one of the best ways to catch changes early.
Early detection supports a smoother experience, protects more of your tooth structure, and helps you make confident decisions about next steps.
- Identify early decay before pain starts
- Help prevent larger fillings or root canal treatment
- Support stronger enamel and healthier gums
- Improve long term oral health outcomes
