Consequences

The cavity will continue to grow, weakening the tooth and causing more damage.

Without treatment, you may experience intense pain and sensitivity to heat, cold, or sweet foods.

If left untreated, the cavity can reach the tooth's root, causing infections that may require more invasive procedures, such as a root canal or extraction.
