Dental Cavity- Diagnosis

We usually detect tooth decay by:

  • Asking about tooth pain and sensitivity

  • Examining your mouth and teeth

  • Probing your teeth with dental instruments to check for soft areas

  • Looking at dental X-rays, which can show the extent of cavities and decay

Further additional signs to look out for are: whether the pain increases when you lay down, pain initiated or triggered by certain foods or water or temperature fluctuations. We also will enquire about the type of pain- sharp, dull, sharp, short, lingering etc and how the pain subsides- on its own or through medication.
