Maintaining good oral health is essential for a bright smile and overall well-being. One of the most common dental issues that people face is tooth cavities. These small holes in the teeth can lead to discomfort, pain, and more severe dental problems if left untreated. In this video, we will explore five important signs that could indicate the presence of a tooth cavity. By recognizing these signs early on, you can take the necessary steps to address the issue and protect your oral health.

Sensitivity to Hot and Cold:
If you experience a sharp or lingering pain when consuming hot or cold foods and beverages, it could be a sign of a tooth cavity. Tooth enamel protects the nerves inside your teeth, and when cavities erode the enamel, sensitivity can occur. If you find yourself wincing at the thought of ice cream or hot coffee, it’s time to consider a dental check-up.

Persistent Toothache:
A persistent toothache, especially when eating or applying pressure, is a strong indicator of a cavity. As cavities progress and reach the inner layers of the tooth, they can cause significant discomfort. Ignoring a toothache could lead to more severe dental issues, so it’s important to address it promptly.

Visible Holes or Pits:
Sometimes, cavities are visible to the naked eye. If you notice small holes, pits, or dark spots on your teeth, it’s a sign that decay may be present. Regular dental examinations can catch these early, preventing further damage.

Bad Breath:
Unpleasant breath that doesn’t go away even after brushing and using mouthwash could be linked to tooth cavities. Bacteria thrive in the crevices of decayed teeth, leading to foul-smelling breath. Addressing the cavity can help improve your breath.

Changes in Tooth Color:
Cavities can alter the color of your teeth. If you notice white, brown, or black spots on the surface of your teeth, it’s time to consult a dentist. Discoloration is often a sign that the enamel is compromised and decay is setting in.

Conclusion:
Being aware of these five signs can empower you to take control of your oral health. If you suspect you may have a tooth cavity, don’t hesitate to schedule a dental appointment. Remember, early detection and treatment can prevent cavities from causing more extensive damage to your teeth. Your smile is worth protecting, and by staying vigilant, you can ensure that your teeth remain healthy and strong for years to come.

DAY TO DAY SYMPTOMS OF COVID-19
Before proceeding, please note that this general overview is compiled for initial self-assessment only and may vary for each individual. If you’re not feeling well, you should immediately consult a medical practitioner to have an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of COVID-19.
The typical daily symptoms are concluded from the study of 138 patients at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University and another study involving 135 patients from Jinyintan Hospital and 56 patients from Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital.
These symptoms are broken down into:
DAY 1 TO DAY 2
The beginning symptoms are similar to the common cold with a mild sore throat and neither having a fever nor feeling tired. Patients can still consume food and drink as usual.
DAY 3
The patient’s throats start to feel a bit painful. Body temperature reads at around 36.5° celsius. Although it’s uncommon, other symptoms like mild nausea, vomiting or mild diarrhea are possible to set in.
DAY 4
Throat pain becomes more serious. Other symptoms like feeling weak and joint pain start to manifest. The patient may show a temperature reading between 36.5° to 37° celsius.
DAY 5 TO 6
Mild fever starts. The patients show a temperature reading above 37.2° celsius. The second most common symptom, dry cough, also appears. Dyspnea or breathing difficulty may occur occasionally. Most patients in this stage are easily feeling tired. Other symptoms remain about the same. These four symptoms are among the top five key indications of COVID-19 according to the final report of the initial outbreak conducted by the joint mission of China and WHO.
DAY 7
The patients that haven’t started recovering by day 7 get more serious coughs and breathing difficulty. Fever can get higher up to 38° celsius. Patients may develop further headache and body pain or worsening diarrhea if there’s any. Many patients are admitted to the hospital at this stage.
DAY 8 TO 9
On the 8th day, the symptoms are likely to be worsened for the patient who has coexisting medical conditions. Severe shortness of breath becomes more frequent. Temperature reading goes well above 38°. In one of the studies, day 9 is the average time when Sepsis starts to affect 40% of the patients.
DAY 10 TO 11
Doctors are ordering imaging tests like chest x-ray to capture the severity of respiratory distress in patients. Patients are having loss of appetite and may be facing abdominal pain. The condition also needs immediate treatment in ICU.
DAY 12 TO 14
For the survivors, the symptoms can be well-managed at this point. Fever tends to get better and breathing difficulties may start to cease on day 13. But Some patients may still be affected by mild cough even after hospital discharge.
DAY 15 TO 16
Day 15 is the opposite condition for the rest of the minority patients . The fragile group must prepare for the possibility of acute cardiac injury or kidney injury.
DAY 17 TO 19
COVID-19 fatality cases happen at around day 18. Before the time, vulnerable patients may develop a secondary infection caused by a new pathogen in the lower respiratory tract. The severe condition may then lead to a blood coagulation and ischemia.
DAY 20 TO 22
The surviving patients are recovered completely from the disease and are discharged from the hospital.
