🦷 Hidden caries: why it is important to undergo regular check-ups even without pain

🦷 The patient first turned to the "Blanco" dentistry to make an appointment for professional hygiene.

💬 After a high-quality teeth cleaning, the doctor conducted a full examination and found:

🔹 Acute deep caries on tooth 17 — on the X-ray it looked superficial, but during the preparation, damage to the deep layers was revealed

🔹 Secondary caries under the old filling on tooth 16 — the patient did not even suspect the problem ⠀

✅ Performed:

▪️ Full diagnostics

▪️ Treatment of both teeth with micropreparation

▪️ Installation of composite restorations with accurate anatomical reproduction ⠀

📸 This case — a reminder that even if «nothing hurts», problems may lie deeper. ⠀

📅 Regular check-ups + professional hygiene = timely detection and preservation of teeth
