Many patients come to Ledismile Dental Clinic saying:
“Doctor, I don’t understand… yesterday I felt fine, today the pain is unbearable.”

The truth is simple but often misunderstood:
tooth decay does not happen overnight.
It begins silently — long before any symptoms appear.

How Does Tooth Decay Start?

On every tooth surface, a thin bacterial layer forms — dental plaque.
When oral hygiene is irregular, sugar intake is frequent, or saliva flow is reduced, bacteria gain the upper hand.

These bacteria produce acids that slowly erode the enamel, day after day, until a tiny invisible spot appears.
That spot is the beginning of a cavity.

What Happens If It’s Ignored?

If early decay is not treated:

• Tooth sensitivity appears

• Pain follows

• Infection develops

• In advanced cases, tooth loss occurs

Many people believe pain is the beginning of the problem.
In reality, pain is a late warning sign.

How Does Ledismile Help?

At Ledismile, we can “read” dental signals before damage occurs:

• Routine check-ups detect cavities at their earliest stage

• Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar unreachable by brushing

• Fluoride treatments strengthen enamel and increase resistance

At Ledismile, prevention is not just a procedure — it is a philosophy.

Our Message to You

Teeth don’t decay because of bad luck.
They decay when bacteria are given space to grow.

With proper home care and regular visits to Ledismile Dental Clinic, you can control every stage of this process — before pain, before infection, before complications.
