The extent is increasingly widespread, first occurring in a tooth with a small hole, then spreading to a large hole, penetrating and destroying the tooth. Next, the decay will spread to the adjacent teeth. The condition of tooth decay makes patients sensitive, painful, uncomfortable when eating. The patient will face a situation where food is stuck in the cavities, making the situation worse, causing an unpleasant odor if not cleaned.
