Everything You Need To Know About Cavities

At Kewaskum Family Dentistry, we recommend that our patients visit us every four to six months for a routine oral hygiene examination and cleaning. During these visits, we do more than just clean your teeth–we also check for signs of problems such as gum disease, oral cancer, and dental decay. One of the most common concerns patients have during their appointments is whether there are any signs of decay or cavities. Cavities are the most common dental issue seen in both children and adults. While many people are familiar with the term, we want to make sure you understand how cavities develop and why they can be harmful to your oral health.
