Rotten teeth symptoms

Rotten teeth symptoms are something that you should be aware of.

That is because left without treatment rotten teeth may need to be extracted.

Rotten teeth otherwise known as dental cavities or dental caries are areas of teeth that have permanent damage done to the tooth enamel.

What causes teeth to rot

There are a number of factors that cause teeth to rot.

They include not cleaning teeth properly each day, drinking sugary drinks, frequent unhealthy snacking, and bacteria.

The main symptoms of rotten teeth include:

1. Toothache or pain:

Rotten teeth may bring about persistent throbbing tooth pain, usually when you eat or drink.

In the beginning the pain will be mild, however as the decay worsens so does the pain.

2.Teeth appear discoloured:

Cavities in the affected teeth will have visible black, white or brown spots on the surface.

Over time and as the decay progresses the discoloured teeth become more visible.

3. Holes or cavities in the tooth:

In the case of advanced tooth decay noticeable holes or cavities will appear in the tooth enamel.

4.Bad breath:

Bacteria love rotten teeth because it multiplies in this environment, and this leads to persistent bad breath (halitosis), one unpleasant rotten teeth symptom.

5.Really bad taste in the mouth:

As tooth decay progresses so does a really bad taste in the mouth.

6. Chewing is difficult:

Structural damage to the teeth is a symptom of tooth decay, this means that chewing is difficult or painful.

7. Tooth sensitivity:

One of the main rotten teeth symptoms is tooth sensitivity.

The inner layers of the tooth are affected causing tooth sensitivity to cold, hot, sweet foods and drinks.
