How do i know if i have cavities?
My gums have been bleeding a little when I brush, and sometimes I feel a dull ache in one of my teeth. How do I know if I have cavities? Do I always feel pain, or can they be there without any major symptoms?

Honestly, if you get a sharp pain whenever you drink cold water or eat sweet stuff, that is a huge sign. I ignored a tiny black spot on my molar last semester and ended up needing a root canal. Just go to a dentist before it starts hurting like crazy.
What if the cavity is deep and reaches the nerve without showing any pain? I constantly check my teeth in the mirror for dark spots because I am so terrified of dental procedures. Please book a dentist appointment quickly, it is better to be safe than sorry!
Visible dark spots, food getting stuck constantly, or sensitivity to hot and cold are classic signs of cavities. Don't wait for a major toothache to ruin your week. Just book a quick dental checkup and get an X-ray done to fix it early.
A simple dental filling is very affordable if you catch the cavity early. If you delay it, you will end up spending thousands on root canals and caps, which really hurts the monthly budget. Go for a basic dental checkup now to save money later.
I thought my tooth was just sensitive to ice cream, but it turned out to be a deep cavity. If you see any brown or black stains on your teeth or feel a weird hole with your tongue, go get it filled immediately.
Cavities are one of the most common oral health problems in kids and adults. If you feel tooth sensitivit...
I can only share what happened to me. I had absolutely no pain, but during my regular dental clean-up, the dentist found two hidden cavities between my molars using an X-ray. Since then, I realized you can't always tell on your own.
