Many people think that detecting tooth decay is easy, just ask the doctor to look at it, but it is not!

"Difficult" caries are cavities in the interdental spaces, deep below the gums, and in the form of "inside hollows", but outside there are almost no "cavities".

Therefore, many decayed teeth cannot be detected with the naked eye, we need to use special tools such as illuminating mirrors, and especially x-ray films to see them more clearly.

If you really want to check your oral health more closely, you should consider periodic x-rays to control tooth decay. A panoramic film of Panorex, is usually quite enough for the doctor to have an overview of all your teeth to see if there are any cavities or problems that need attention.

Many people are afraid of the cost, or afraid to take x-rays, and then accept the risk of dental problems such as cavities, bone tumors, tooth infections that are not detected early.

And finally, the most important thing, the best way to treat tooth decay, is not to let it happen! This can only depend on the patients themselves, not the doctors!
