Beta, if you feel sensitivity in your teeth when you eat something sweet or cold, or if there is a dark spot, it might be a cavity. Sometimes, food gets stuck too. Rinsing with warm salt water can help for a while, but it's best to go to a dentist, they will clean it properly.

When your favorite mithai suddenly attacks your tooth with a sharp pain, that's usually a cavity announcing its presence!

Go to the dentist before it becomes a whole 'root' problem!
Haan ji, agar aapke daant mein thanda-garam lagta hai, ya meetha khaane pe dard hota hai, toh cavity ho sakti hai. Kabhi-kabhi kala spot bhi dikhta hai, ya food फस जाता है (gets stuck). Dentist ko dikhana zaroori hai na, warna baad mein badi problem ho sakti hai.
My son had a cavity recently. The signs are usually sensitivity to sweet, hot, or cold foods. Sometimes you might see a black or brown spot on the tooth, or a tiny hole. If food keeps getting stuck in one particular spot, that's also a clue. It's best to visit a dentist, they can identify and treat it quickly for both kids and adults.

Oh, cavities! The tiny villains of our mouths. You know you probably have one if your tooth suddenly decides to scream when you sip cold water, or if you feel a strange rough spot with your tongue. Sometimes you can even spot a black dot. Just go to the dentist, darling, before it costs you a fortune and a lot of pain.
As someone managing diabetes, I'm very careful about sugar and my dental health is crucial. Cavities often show up as sensitivity to sweet or cold things, a visible dark spot, or constant toothache. These need immediate attention from a dentist, especially for us, as infections can impact blood sugar control. So no home remedies, please, only professional care.
