At the early stage of teeth cavities, they are small in size and bring no pain at all. Many people think it’s not a big deal and tend to leave them alone. As a result, the cavities only get larger and bring stronger pain, leaving you nothing but regret of not getting them fixed in time. Why is it necessary to fix cavities as soon as possible?

    Without timely treatment, the caries will deteriorate into a severe one, making teeth highly sensitive to something cold or hot, and something sour or sweet. Reaching the dental pulp, the caries turns out to be a provocation of pulpitis. As it progresses, chances are that apicitis and periapical abscess, even jaw osteomyelitis and tooth loss, will take place. Bacteria as well as pus inside the caries remain a potential risk, able to trigger septicemia or bacteremia as immunity descends. Seeking dental filling for caries serves to prevent the development of such diseases. 

    Clinically dental caries can be divided into primary and secondary caries. As a kind of primary caries, acute caries features in a speedy progression. Amid children or teenagers, generally the pathological tissues become soft and moist, along with a light color. Due to its fast deterioration, pulp tissues fail to grow enough restorative dentin, making it susceptible to pulp lesion. 

    As for patients who secrete less saliva, resulting from radiotherapy in face and neck or other reasons, their caries tends to develop rapidly and fiercely, usually affecting a few other teeth. In such cases, it’s of great necessity to seek proper treatment promptly, stopping the rapid progression of caries.
