What happens if tooth decay is left untreated?

Tooth decay weakens your tooth enamel, if left untreated then it advances to the dentin causing tooth sensitivity and pain. Then, the decay furthermore progresses resulting in a stage where a simple tooth filling will not save the tooth. Advanced progression of decay has to be treated by Root Canal Therapy which would cost you a lot more.

Thus at the initial stage of the tooth decay, fillings or restorations are advised.

THE TOOTH DOESN’T REPAIR ON ITS OWN. Tooth filling has to be done to prevent the spread of caries.
