How can we Diagnose Tooth Decay?
The diagnosis of tooth decay can be made during routine dental check-ups. Examination of the teeth reveals dental caries (cavities).
The surface of the tooth may be soft when checked with a sharp instrument.
At times, dental x-rays have to be taken to assess the severity of infection.
