Tooth Decay?

How do you know when your cavity is infected?

Tooth Decay?
When there is cavity on the tooth meaning there's presence of infection already.Because a cavity would imply that there will be disintegration of the hard tooth structures of the teeth.And sometimes,cavity could be present without being noticed.Better yet,go to your dentist.Once the cavity remains on your teeth and left untreated,it will worsen,creating more bigger problems,either a periapical infection(meaning there's infection/abscess on the apex on teeth--that could result to root canal treatment or removal of teeth) ,or periodontal problems.Have your teeth checked. :p

There is potential for infection when the decay (bacteria) enters the pulp(the center) of the tooth.
