Here are some signs to watch for in children:
\n\u2022 Tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
\n\u2022 Visible holes or pits in the teeth
\n\u2022 White, brown, or black spots on the tooth surface
\n\u2022 Toothache or discomfort while eating

Tooth decay can happen when:
\n\u2022 Sugary or starchy foods and drinks linger in the mouth
\n\u2022 Poor brushing or flossing habits allow plaque (a sticky film of bacteria) to build up on the teeth
\n\u2022 Saliva flow is reduced, which can occur with dehydration or certain medications
\n\u2022 Parents or caregivers transfer cavity-causing bacteria to children (e.g., sharing utensils) <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#efffeb” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”Diagnosis” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%23000000″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”]
Our pediatric dental team will:
\n\u2022 Perform a thorough oral examination to check for signs of decay
