Cavities: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention | Dr. Gogia’s Super Specialty Dental Care Centre, Rohtak
Tooth cavities — also known as dental caries or tooth decay — are one of the most common dental problems affecting people of all ages. If left untreated, cavities can cause pain, infection, tooth loss, and long-term oral health problems.
At Dr. Gogia’s Super Specialty Dental Care Centre, Rohtak, our goal is to prevent, detect, and treat cavities early through advanced care and patient education. In this blog, we will explore everything you need to know about cavities and how we can help you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

What Are Cavities?
Cavities are permanently damaged areas in the enamel (outer layer) of your teeth that develop into tiny holes or openings. They are caused by the breakdown of tooth enamel due to acids produced by bacteria in the mouth.
Cavities can:
Affect one or multiple teeth
Appear on the chewing surface, between teeth, or near the gumline
Progress over time and become deeper and more painful

Causes of Cavities
Cavities are not just caused by sugar. Multiple factors contribute to the formation of tooth decay:
1. Poor Oral Hygiene
Infrequent brushing and flossing allow plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) to build up on teeth.
2. Sugary and Acidic Foods
Frequent consumption of sugar, soda, chocolates, and acidic foods feeds bacteria that produce acids, which erode enamel.
3. Dry Mouth
Lack of saliva, often due to medications or dehydration, reduces natural protection against cavities.
4. Deep Pits and Grooves
Back teeth with deep grooves are harder to clean and more prone to decay.
5. Prolonged Bottle Feeding or Night Feeding (Children)
This causes “baby bottle tooth decay” in infants and toddlers.
6. Genetics
Some people are more prone to cavities due to their oral structure or enamel quality.
Symptoms of Tooth Cavities
Early-stage cavities may not cause any discomfort. As the decay progresses, symptoms can include:
Toothache or spontaneous pain
Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
Visible pits or holes in the tooth
Brown, black, or white spots on teeth
Pain when biting down
Bad breath or unpleasant taste in the mouth
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to visit your dentist immediately

Cavities in Children
Cavities are very common in children due to:
High sugar consumption
Inadequate brushing
Improper feeding habits
Lack of fluoride
At Dr. Gogia’s Clinic, we offer child-friendly dental care to detect and treat cavities early and educate parents on preventive habits.

How Are Cavities Diagnosed?
At our clinic, we use a combination of:
Visual examination
Dental explorers to check soft spots
Digital X-rays to detect cavities between teeth or under fillings
Intraoral cameras for better patient understanding
Early detection = simpler and more affordable treatment.

Treatment Options for Cavities
Treatment depends on the severity of decay. At Dr. Gogia’s Super Specialty Dental Care Centre, we offer a full range of painless and effective treatment
1. Fluoride Treatment (For Early Decay)
Fluoride helps remineralize enamel and reverse tiny cavities.
2Tooth-Colored Fillings
For small to moderate cavities, we remove the decayed part and restore the tooth with white composite fillings.
Aesthetic and mercury-free
Matches natural tooth color
3. Inlays or Onlays
Used when damage is too extensive for a filling but doesn’t require a crown.
4. Root Canal Treatment (RCT)
If decay reaches the tooth pulp, RCT is performed to remove infected tissue and save the tooth. A crown is usually placed afterward.
5. Crowns
When a large portion of the tooth is damaged, a crown is used to restore strength and function.
6. Tooth Extraction
In severe cases where the tooth cannot be saved, it may need to be extracted. We provide options for implants or bridges afterward.

How to Prevent Cavities
Prevention is always better than cure. Here’s how to protect your teeth:
Brush Twice a Day
Use a fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush for at least 2 minutes.
Floss Daily
Flossing removes plaque between teeth that brushing can’t reach.
Limit Sugar and Acidic Foods
Reduce intake of candies, soft drinks, fruit juices, and sticky snacks.
Rinse After Meals
Rinse your mouth with water after eating to wash away food particles.
Drink Plenty of Water
Keeps the mouth hydrated and helps clean out sugars and acids.
Regular Dental Check-ups
Visit your dentist every6 monthsfor professional cleaning and early cavity detection.

Pit and Fissure Sealants for Children
Sealants are protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They prevent food and bacteria from entering deep grooves, thereby reducing the risk of cavities.
Recommended for:
Children aged 6–14 years
Adults with deep grooves
