If you eat more candy than usual, say, around Halloween time, this could lead to a higher risk of tooth decay, whether you’re a kid or a grownup.

Whether you have developed a cavity from excessive sweets, poor dental care, or even simply from not attending routine check-ups, it is crucial that they are managed and attended to before they progress. Cavities are holes that develop in or on a tooth when it has been exposed to harmful oral bacteria that eats away at your tooth. If left unchecked, the cavity can get bigger as more harmful bacteria develop and wear down your tooth, and can ultimately lead to bigger problems such as plaque formation, tooth decay, and even total tooth loss. Our team at Pacific Hills Dental in Omaha, Nebraska can help.
