- Stage stains. On the first of them, the patient may notice in his oral cavity the appearance of a small carious spot. There is a change in the color of enamel, it still retains its hardness, but the destructive process is already running. The demineralization of own tissue begins, the dental enamel becomes matte and whites. It is not always possible to notice such damage yourself, so professional caries treatment always begins with a preventive inspection. With the help of a special tool, the dentist can reveal the lesion foci and prescribe the most effective treatment.
