• Plaque is formed when food and bacteria
  builds up in your teeth. The bacteria in plaque
  produce acids that have the efficiency to damage
  the enamel. If someone does not brushes and
  flosses daily, then plaque will eat your teeth
  and forms cavity. Eventually, cavity creates a
  hole in the tooth and if left untreated leads to
  entire damage of it. An untreated cavity also
  leads to some serious complications like
  infection that enters our bloodstream that can be
  life threatening.

Signs of a Cavity

• Hot and cold sensitivity
• When there is no presence of enough enamel,
  food which is hot, cold, sticky and acidic tends
  to stimulate the cells and creates sensitivity
• Toothache
• An ongoing pain in the tooth can be a sign
  of cavity. Pain can come suddenly and can be felt
  when you eat something.
• Stains on tooth
• Stains can be of various colors like
  yellow, black, white or brown which appear on the
  surface of tooth. As the cavity becomes serious,
  color of the stain tends to become darker.
• A hole in your tooth
• When cavity starts worsening, it ends up
  making a hole in the tooth which you may be able
  to see in the mirror or when you run tongue over
  the surface of that tooth. Immediate dental
  appointment is required for the cause.

How to prevent a Cavity?

• Brush 2 times a day with a toothpaste containing
  fluoride
• Visit a dentist every 6 months for dental
  cleanings and preventive care
• Floss your teeth daily
• Drink plenty of water to rinse your teeth and
  boost saliva flow. Dry mouth is also responsible
  for cavities.
• Avoid intake of sugary items
