How to Know if You Have a Cavity.
According to the National Institutes of Health, the most prevalent health condition after the common cold is tooth decay.
It’s more than likely that if you haven’t already had a cavity, you will develop at least one in your lifetime.
So, how do you know if you have a cavity? Well, depending on the severity of your tooth decay, you may experience a variety of symptoms.
Here are some of the accompanying symptoms that go along with tooth decay:
• Nothing (in the early stages)
• A toothache or spontaneous tooth pain
• Tooth sensitivity
• Pain (slight or severe) when eating something sweet, hot, or cold
• Staining (brown, black, or white) on the surface of your tooth
• Visible holes in your tooth. Those holes are cavities
• Pain when biting down
The best time to catch a cavity is in the early stages, when there are few, if any, symptoms.

Did you know that your dental hygienist-
- Completes TWO years of prerequisite courses including everything from psychology, chemistry, anatomy, and microbiology, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes an additional TWO years of intense textbook and clinical courses, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes numerous Radiology courses and learns the science and history of radiography, and how to expose clinically accurate and diagnostic radiographs in order to minimize your radiation exposure, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes Pharmacology in order to understand the effects of medications (not just on your oral cavity but on your body as a whole), so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes a Periodontology course in order to accurately and competently assess and treat your oral health (both healthy and diseased), so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes a Histology course in order to understand how your teeth started forming in utero before you were even born, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes courses regarding complex medical conditions in order to understand how conditions like heart disease and diabetes affect your oral health, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes training on tobacco cessation in order to arm you with tools to help you fight your tobacco habits, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes courses that involve individual development in order to understand how to tailor treatment and education to patients of all ages, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes and maintains certifications on Basic Life Support and CPR, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes comprehensive (&stressful) Regional and National board exams, so they can “just clean your teeth”
- Completes hours and hours of Continuing Education courses (yearly) in order to stay current on the newest developments in medical, dental, and hygiene...so they can “just clean your teeth”
Clearly I could go on and on...
So the next time you ask for “just a cleaning” consider all that you are negating in your hygienist’s education.
Considering all that we have COMPLETED...we want to treat you COMPLETELY as well.
We have degrees from colleges and universities. We have state licenses to uphold - we are more than “the maids of the mouth.” 💜
