Another most common behavior seen among people is that they won’t visit a dentist unless and until pain arises and situation gets worse. Tooth decays can be avoided by getting filling done initially thus saving lot of money and time. People often visit dentist only when they have severe toothache and in most of such cases it becomes very difficult to save the tooth or teeth. And in such cases the tooth or teeth often gets extracted or undergoes root canal treatment.
