#3 – Bad breath/bad taste in your mouth
Cavities are basically just infected, small holes that develop into a tooth because of sugar and acid, which are the perfect breeding environment for bacteria and food particles. These bacteria can cause a bad taste and an unpleasant odor in the mouth.
Also, the bad breath can be a sign of a gum disease, too. If you ever notice that your breath or taste feel different in your mouth, contact your dentist to evaluate the source of the bacteria.
#4 – Visible holes in the teeth
When the cavity breaks holes into your teeth, they are visible. One day, you will just open up your mouth and found a visible, black hole in one of your teeth, or maybe multiple. Even if it doesn’t hurt, you have to check with your dentist.
Otherwise, the bacteria will keep breeding, and soon enough, your nerve will be infected, too, and that is going to lead you to a world of severe and unbearable pain.
#5 – Increased sensitivity to temperature
Another way to know that you have cavities is when you feel extreme sensitivity to cold or hot liquids, and if you are one of the 80% of people who had – at least– one cavity, then you know exactly how it feels when your teeth are sensitive to temperature.
Every tooth we have has a nerve that supplies it with blood and helps it grow, but when the cavity comes closer to it, the nerve will start sensing the temperature very easily.
#6 – Discoloration and/or Dark spots on the teeth
