ENAMEL, UP CLOSE Conceptual illustration01 / UNDER THE SURFACE
A cavity has
a backstory.
Plaque bacteria use sugars from food and drinks to make acids. Repeated acid exposure can wear away the minerals in enamel. Over time, a cavity can form.1
- 01
Plaque builds up.
A film of bacteria forms on teeth. Daily cleaning helps manage that buildup.
- 02
Bacteria make acid.
Sugars give plaque bacteria fuel. The acids they produce attack enamel.
- 03
Enamel loses minerals.
When mineral loss outpaces repair, the tooth can develop a cavity.
The opportunity: saliva and fluoride support mineral repair in early decay, before a hole forms. A dentist determines what your tooth needs.2, 3

Early decay?
Ask about your options.
Early mineral loss and a formed cavity are different. Some early lesions can be managed without a filling; a hole in the tooth may need restorative treatment. Your dentist can explain which situation you’re dealing with.3
Explore early-decay careTHE QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING
Let’s clear
a few things up.
Can you have a cavity without pain?
Yes. Early tooth decay often has no symptoms. Regular dental examinations help find problems before they become painful.3
Can toothpaste fix a cavity?
Fluoride can support repair of early mineral loss. It cannot fill a hole in a tooth. Your dentist needs to assess the damage and recommend care.2, 3
Does preventing cavities mean giving up every sweet?
Focus on a balanced diet and limiting frequent sugary snacks and drinks. Your daily eating pattern is a useful topic to discuss with your dentist.1
Where do rinses and extra fluoride fit?
Ask your dentist whether additional fluoride would help your individual needs. Bring the names of the products you already use so you can review your routine together.1
