Did you know that when your teeth are healthy there shouldn't be any discomfort or pain? Pain, whether when chewing or doing nothing at all, is your body's way of letting you know that something is not right. The sooner you see the dentist, typically the better outcomes you will have and the cost of treatment is less!

The enamel that makes the hard outer shell of your teeth is a strong barrier that does not have the ability to relay pain. You can have cavities in your teeth that are only in the enamel and not even realize there is active disease in your teeth because of this. When you start to develop pain that is an indication that the decay in your teeth has penetrated through the enamel into the deeper part of your teeth where your body starts to register pain. This is why it is important to see the dentist for regular care and check ups to keep your oral health in tip-top shape.
