Possible causes
Tooth decay develops when bacteria in dental plaque produce acids that gradually damage enamel and dentin. Frequent sugar intake, repeated snacking, acidic drinks, and inadequate plaque removal can increase the risk. Regular check-ups help detect problems earlier; missing them does not itself cause decay.
- Frequent consumption of sugary foods and drinks;
- Inadequate dental hygiene;
- Accumulation of plaque and bacteria;
- Frequent snacking between meals;
- Lack of regular preventive checkups;
- Carbonated and acidic drinks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Toothache can be related to decay, a crack, inflammation inside the tooth, a gum problem or an existing filling or crown. Different conditions can sometimes feel similar, so an examination helps identify the cause. It is useful to discuss when the pain occurs and what changes it; you do not need to work out the diagnosis yourself.
