10 Cavity Symptoms
Symptom #7: Mouth Sores
The tissues in our mouth are very soft and potentially prone to infection from bacteria and pathogens. Thankfully, though, our immune system helps keep us safe but our immune system is not invincible. If there are more bacteria present in the mouth than usual, then we’re at a greater risk from developing infections.
Mouth sores are more likely to develop when there are cavities because there are more bacteria present than usual. Regular brushing and mouthwashes can help reduce the occurrence of sores. Remedies are available to treat the sores themselves. If you have cavities, the best way to prevent sores is to arrange an appointment with the dentist so they can treat the cavities for you.
