10 Cavity Symptoms
Symptom #5: Stuck Food
It is not a good idea to have food hanging around inside the mouth for too long. It will encourage the growth of bacteria which can cause plaque and decay, so regular brushing to remove food particles is recommended. This is fairly easy, though, partly because the surfaces of the teeth are quite smooth.
If you have a cavity, then food particles can get stuck in the cavity, making them difficult to remove. This can exacerbate the problem and is something that should not be ignored. If you are having difficulty maintaining good oral hygiene for any reason, you should arrange to speak with a dentist.
