10 Cavity Symptoms
Symptom #6: Bad Breath
Bad breath is a common problem even among people with healthy mouths. It is caused by the build-up of bacteria and regular brushing and anti-bacterial mouthwash can be necessary to control the levels of bacteria in the mouth. Although it can occur in healthy mouths, bad breath can also be a sign that something is not right.
Cavities are caused by bacteria on the teeth that produce acid, which eats away at the enamel and other layers. The resulting cavity is a haven for bacteria and this could result in an unpleasant odor. While brushing will help, it is best to try and treat the cause as soon as possible.
