White spots: they are the earliest visible stage of decay. This early stage of decay is reversible.

Early Enamel Decay: left untreated, the area may continue to break down, resulting in early enamel decay.

Dentin Decay: at this stage, restoring the tooth with a filling is often necessary. After a filling is placed, it is important to take excellent care of your teeth to help minimize the risk of further decay.

Infected Pulp & Abscess: if decay is left untreated, the infected pulp can cause an abscess to form. An abscess is an infection that requires immediate treatment. In some cases, root canal treatment is necessary.
