Early signs of cavities and tooth decay explained
Cavity treatment and prevention New Hampton
Cavities often begin without pain which makes them easy to overlook. Many patients in New Hampton are surprised to learn decay can progress quietly long before a tooth ever hurts.
What cavities are and why they grow
Cavities form when plaque bacteria weaken enamel over time. Sugary snacks dry mouth and skipped checkups all play a role. In our local community we frequently see decay worsen during busy months when routines are disrupted.
Common signs decay may be present
• Sensitivity to cold sweets or air
• Dark spots or shadows on teeth
• Food catching in one area repeatedly
• Mild pain when chewing
• Rough or sticky tooth surfaces

Boeding, Speltz, & Wernimont family dentistry has been so amazingly wonderful. Besides their professionalism and knowledge, all of the ladies are so kind and compassionate to their clients. They actually care and are passionate about wanting to help with all dental needs. Plus they are all so stylish in their matching scrubs! They are a 45 minute drive for me but absolutely so worth it!

This dentist is FANTASTIC! They take the time to answer questions and help out with scheduling. I recommend it. It take me an hr to get there, but totally worth it.
I cannot say enough good things about this dental practice in all areas of my experience as a patient.

Highly recommend this dental practice.
