Caries

If caries cannot be cured at the initial stage of its development, then in most cases tooth decay will continue, as a result of which the tissues under the enamel will be affected. Often this is associated with the formation of deep cavities: in simple terms, patients in this case speak of “internal” caries, although doctors never call it that.

Let's see what causes the development of the disease and what to do in such a situation.

In most cases, with the onset of initial caries, there are no pronounced symptoms that can motivate you to immediately see a dentist.
