Understanding Tooth Decay & Cavities

A cavity (dental caries) forms when bacteria in the mouth produce acids that erode tooth enamel over time. Early cavities are often completely painless — making regular check-ups essential for catching them before they reach deeper layers of the tooth.

Untreated cavities progress from enamel into dentin (causing sensitivity) and eventually into the tooth pulp — requiring root canal treatment or extraction. Treating cavities early means a simple filling. Treating them late means root canals, crowns, or tooth loss. Regular check-ups literally save teeth and money.

  • Cavity detection with digital X-rays and visual examination
  • Small cavities treated with tooth-colored composite fillings
  • Medium cavities may require an inlay or onlay restoration
  • Large cavities may require a crown
  • Deep cavities near the nerve may need root canal treatment first
  • Fluoride treatment to remineralize early-stage decay

Cavity Questions

What expats in Songdo ask about cavities and tooth decay treatment.

Why doesn't my cavity hurt if it needs treatment?
Early-stage cavities are often completely painless because decay starts in enamel, which has no nerve endings. Pain typically only develops when decay reaches the dentin or pulp — by which point the cavity is significantly more complex to treat. This is why regular check-ups are so important.
How quickly do cavities progress?
Cavity progression varies — some early cavities stabilize while others advance quickly. Untreated cavities can progress from enamel to pulp in as little as 6–12 months in high-risk patients. Early treatment is always simpler, less painful, and less expensive.
Can cavities be reversed?
Very early-stage cavities (white spot lesions) can sometimes be remineralized with fluoride treatment and improved oral hygiene — stopping progression without a filling. Once decay has created a physical hole in the tooth, a filling is required. We'll tell you honestly which stage your cavity is at.
