If your teeth have white spots like these, take this situation seriously.

Unusual spots on your teeth are often the first clue to developing decay. These marks, which may be:

Whites, reporting demineralization of the enamel, the initial stage before the formation of a cavity;
Brown or black, indicating more advanced decay,
are signs that it is time to consult a dentist.

A rapid diagnosis will confirm the origin of the problem and treat caries before it progresses.

A rough sensation or small holes

When you pass your tongue over your teeth, a rough surface or the presence of tiny holes can be an early sign of decay. These irregularities result from the progressive degradation of the enamel by the bacteria.

Even if this sounds trivial, it is essential to consult to prevent the decay from reaching the inner layers of the tooth.

Increased sensitivity

Dental sensitivity is another common symptom of mild caries. It can manifest itself in different ways:

During brushing, with discomfort in contact with the bristles of the brush,
By eating or drinking, particularly with hot, cold or sweet food or drink,
When chewing, where slight pain or discomfort may occur.

These sensations indicate that decay begins to affect dentin, a more fragile layer of the tooth under the enamel.
