Interproximal Caries: The Most Dangerous!
by Wildsmile
Interproximal or interdental caries are the invisible enemy that every tooth does not want to have, as they are the most difficult to detect by the naked eye, and can only be observed by X-ray.
Interproximal caries: the invisible enemy
Interproximal cavities are the most difficult to detect because they attack the tooth from the sides, this is why they are not visible in a regular dental check-up. It is highly recommended to have an X-ray at least once a year, as this is the only way to detect them.

Why does interproximal caries are the most dangerous?
Very simple: the enamel that covers the tooth from the top to the dentine is enough, unfortunately this is not the case on the sides, as there the enamel is almost non-existent, which is why caries can easily penetrate to the nerve. Interproximal caries is one of the leading causes of root canals and tooth extractions. If your dentist has not made a habit of sending you for an x-ray, ask him or her to do so, as this can save your teeth.
