Cavaties? A while ago my husband had his teeth cleaned. It was a free service.?

well, anyway, it came back that he has a couple of teeth decaying. Is that the same as cavaties? He says they don't hurt.


So what will happen if he doesn't get them pulled? Will the infec. spread or something. He is diabetic.

He needs to get them taken care of as soon as possible. A lot of people with diabetes have a heightened threshold of pain, that is why you have to be so careful about cuts and abrasions on your extremities when you are diabetic.





Your body cannot fight off infection very well when you suffer from diabetes, and infections can spread through your entire body from your mouth in a manner of days.





Please get your husband to a reputable dentist or oral surgeon as soon as possible.
Reply:They could absess and get infected. Get them taken care of. They will hurt eventually.
Reply:There's no reason to get them pulled. Decaying means they have cavities. He can get them filled, like normal. Being a diabetic, he really should do everything he can to prevent infections, and teeth that are decaying and not taken care of can get much worse. It's in his best interest to do something early; it will be much easier and less expensive. If you wait until the teeth hurt, there's a lot more going on than just cavities. Preventive care is the best way to go when it comes to your health, including tooth decay.
Reply:Sounds like cavities.


Easy to fix. Biggest pain will be the shot.


Teeth are only pulled when they are beyond repair.


I am a diabetic and I have had all kinds of work done on my teeth. No problems.
