Rampant caries is an aggressive form of tooth decay that rapidly affects multiple teeth simultaneously in adults.
This condition often stems from frequent sugar consumption, dry mouth, medications, or underlying health issues.
Warning signs include widespread tooth sensitivity, visible cavities, and persistent pain.
Early intervention through professional dental care, combined with proper oral hygiene and dietary modifications, is crucial to prevent extensive tooth damage and potential tooth loss.
If you notice multiple cavities developing despite regular brushing, consult your dentist immediately for comprehensive treatment and preventive strategies.
