Cavities Between Teeth: Causes and Symptoms - Dr. Aniruddha KB

When we are talking above the cavity, a cavity can be formed in any part of the tooth surface. The decay that is caused between two teeth can also be caused on the surface of the tooth just like your tooth having an upper surface or a surface that you can feel and brush. There are surfaces between your teeth where food gets lodged, so how do you know that there is a cavity in that region. Generally in that region there is constant food that is getting lodged that is causing discomfort or irritability. Sometimes there can be severe sensitivity or mild sensitivity that is one of the reason why you can have a decay. So one thing we need to understand is that area needs to be flossed. So most of the time everybody thinks that only brushing and washing your mouth is only good for oral hygiene practices, but that is not true, that one entire surface depends on flossing to clean that surface of that tooth. So mostly a decay will start off in that pit as a black dot, as sensitivity, as food lodgement, or as spacing between the teeth or the gums may be inflamed or may bleed while brushing. So these are the symptoms that are there for cavities between the teeth and what can be done about this is every regular check-up you have with your dentist can diagnose certain issue like this, a bitewing radiograph can give idea about where is the decay and what can be done about this. Flossing is a must because flossing is about 60% of your oral hygiene practices. So flossing everyday is a must so that you avoid decay in these areas. If at all you have a decay it is important to get it restored or a filling to be done on that tooth and a regular maintenance will save your tooth from saving your tooth from going to further complicated treatment.

I always use several plastic bags on my hand to remove any hardened food material on the teeth, I polish them with my nail with the bag put on, even if I don't brush. I also spit the whole day except when eating, I spit any saliva that feels like mucus. With this my teeth are much cleaner than what any brush alone can offer me.
