Decay detection is an important part of preventive dentistry that focuses on identifying tooth decay at its earliest stage. Early detection allows dentists to treat small cavities before they develop into more serious problems, helping to preserve the natural tooth structure. Regular dental check-ups play a key role in spotting early signs of decay that may not yet cause pain or visible damage.
