A dental cavity (also known as tooth decay or caries) is one of the most common dental problems — and one of the most easily treatable when caught early.

At our dental clinic in Lokhandwala, Andheri West, we help you detect, treat, and prevent cavities painlessly and effectively.


What Causes Cavities?

Cavities occur when plaque — a sticky film of bacteria — feeds on sugars from food and produces acids. These acids slowly erode the tooth enamel, leading to holes or decay.

Common reasons:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Frequent snacking or sugary drinks
  • Not visiting the dentist regularly

Early Signs to Watch Out For

  • Sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet
  • Visible black or brown spots on teeth
  • Pain while chewing
  • Food getting stuck between teeth
  • Chipped or broken tooth edges

Even if you feel no pain, a cavity may be silently progressing. Early detection = minimal treatment.
