A hole in a tooth is a cavity. As bacteria and acid continue to breach the tooth’s enamel, the cavity grows and tooth decay continues — unless the person receives professional treatment. Cavities do not hurt in their early stages, and they are easier for dentists to treat when they are small and painless. Frequent snacking on sugary drinks, sweets, and starches can play a role in developing tooth decay. These foods and beverages interact with bacteria in the mouth to create acid, which can erode the enamel of the teeth.
