What Is Tooth Decay? — Causes and Early Detection

Tooth decay (caries) is the most common dental disease worldwide — and yet almost entirely preventable. To truly understand caries, it helps to look at how it develops step by step: our mouth harbours billions of bacteria, including cariogenic organisms such as Streptococcus mutans. These bacteria metabolise sugars and carbohydrates from our food and in doing so produce organic acids. These acids attack the mineral structure of the tooth enamel — a process known as demineralisation.

The key is the balance between demineralisation and remineralisation: our saliva contains calcium, phosphate and fluoride and can rebuild the attacked enamel during rest periods. If this balance is chronically disrupted by frequent sugar consumption, poor oral hygiene or insufficient fluoride, the breakdown wins — and caries develops.

The critical factor is time: the longer bacteria and acids can act undisturbed on the enamel, the deeper the decay penetrates. This is why early detection is so crucial. Caries in its earliest stage — so-called initial caries — is still reversible and can be treated without drilling. If one waits until the tooth hurts, the damage is often already considerable.

At our dental practice in Munich-Oberföhring we rely on modern diagnostic methods that detect caries long before it becomes visible to the naked eye: intraoral camera, digital X-ray with 90% less radiation, and DIAGNOdent laser fluorescence. This is how we protect your tooth substance — because the best tooth is one that never needs treatment. Book your check-up appointment now on 089 95760618.

The Four Stages of Tooth Decay

Caries is not a sudden disease but a creeping process that develops over months to years. Understanding the four stages is the key to making the right treatment decision — and to appreciating why every dental visit counts.

Stage 1: Initial Caries (White Spot)

In the first stage, demineralisation has begun, but the enamel is still intact. The affected area appears as a dull whitish spot (white spot) — barely noticeable to the layperson, but clearly visible to an experienced dentist with modern tools. The crucial point: Stage 1 is reversible. With professional fluoride application, Icon infiltration (a resin-based method without drilling) and improved oral hygiene, the enamel can remineralise and the caries stops completely. No drilling, no filling — just targeted prevention.

Stage 2: Enamel Caries

Once the decay has penetrated the enamel, we speak of enamel caries. The patient usually feels nothing at this point — pain only arises when the decay reaches the underlying dentine layer. Treatment is, however, already invasive: the decayed tissue must be removed in a minimally invasive manner and the cavity sealed with a small composite filling (tooth-coloured resin material). The procedure is brief, painless under local anaesthesia, and the prognosis is very good.

Stage 3: Dentine Caries

In the third stage the decay has reached the dentine — the softer, more sensitive layer beneath the enamel. Dentine conducts thermal and mechanical stimuli more readily, so patients now frequently report sensitivity to sweet, cold or hot foods. Depending on the extent of the cavity, a larger direct filling or a laboratory-fabricated ceramic inlay is the appropriate solution. Ceramic inlays offer advantages in durability, marginal precision and aesthetics for large defects in the molar region. The prognosis remains good if treatment is not delayed further.

Stage 4: Pulpitis

When the decay has reached the pulp — the nerve and vascular tissue inside the tooth — we speak of pulpitis. The patient often suffers from spontaneous, severe toothache that can also occur at night. A simple filling is no longer sufficient: a root canal treatment is now necessary to save the tooth. Despite the more extensive procedure, the tooth can be preserved in most cases — but the effort, cost and treatment duration are considerably greater than in the early stages.

The key message: Every stage detected and treated earlier means less loss of tooth substance, simpler treatment, lower costs and a better long-term prognosis. Waiting is costly — in every sense.

Modern Caries Diagnostics

The quality of caries treatment begins not with the drill but with the diagnosis. The more precisely and earlier we detect caries, the more conservative the treatment can be. At our practice in Munich-Oberföhring we use a multi-stage diagnostic concept that misses no caries — not even hidden decay.

Intraoral camera: This small camera allows every corner of the oral cavity to be displayed on a monitor in high resolution. Patients see in real time exactly what we see — this creates transparency, makes it easier to understand the findings and facilitates shared decision-making. Discolouration, marginal leakage of old fillings and superficial carious lesions become immediately visible.

Digital X-ray: The conventional X-ray image shows what the camera cannot see: caries between the teeth (approximal caries), beneath fillings (secondary caries) and in the root area. Our digital X-ray system works with up to 90% less radiation than conventional film X-rays — while simultaneously delivering higher image quality. The images are available on the monitor immediately and can be discussed directly with the patient.

DIAGNOdent — laser fluorescence: This device emits a laser beam that causes carious tooth tissue to fluoresce. The system outputs a numerical value that objectively quantifies the depth of decay. This allows us to reliably detect hidden caries in the fissures of the chewing surfaces or in early enamel stages — at a point when no cavity has yet formed and minimally invasive treatment or even prevention alone is sufficient.

Visual and tactile inspection: The basis of every diagnosis remains the careful clinical examination: mirror, probe and the trained eye of the dentist. Combined with modern equipment, a complete picture of the tooth condition emerges — the foundation for an individual treatment plan with no over-treatment and no missed findings.

Gentle Treatment — Step by Step

Caries treatment does not have to be intimidating. With modern anaesthesia, gentle techniques and an experienced team, the procedure is completely comfortable for most patients. Here is exactly what happens at our practice, step by step:

  1. Anaesthesia: Before anything is done to the tooth, it is completely numbed. We use articaine — one of the most effective and well-tolerated local anaesthetics in dentistry. Patients with dental anxiety are welcome to ask us about additional relaxation options; conscious sedation or nitrous oxide treatment can also be arranged by prior agreement. You decide how relaxed your treatment experience should be.
  2. Minimally invasive caries removal: Using fine rotary instruments and, in certain cases, ultrasound or airflow, only the decayed, bacterially infected tissue is removed. Healthy tooth substance is preserved — minimally invasive treatment is not a marketing term for us but a lived treatment philosophy. The smaller the amount of tooth substance removed, the more stable and durable the tooth will be in the long term.
  3. Cavity preparation: The resulting cavity is cleaned, shaped and prepared to receive the filling material. For composite fillings, the dentine surface is conditioned with a primer to ensure a durable chemical bond — the so-called adhesive technique.
  4. Filling and restoration: The composite is placed into the cavity in layers, with each layer cured using an LED polymerisation lamp. This layering technique reduces shrinkage stress and ensures optimal material properties. For larger defects, we discuss at this stage whether a ceramic inlay is the better long-term solution.
  5. Check and polish: After curing we check the bite with articulating paper — no high point, no pressure sensation. The filling is finely polished until it integrates seamlessly into the natural tooth surface. At the end you leave our practice with a reconstructed, fully functional tooth — and a good feeling.

Where can I find a dentist for caries treatment in Munich?
Dr. Christina Dickel runs her dental practice in Munich-Oberföhring (Oberföhringer Straße 183a) and specialises in gentle, minimally invasive caries treatment. The practice is easily accessible from across eastern and northern Munich — by U4 Arabellapark, Bus 154/184/189 or car. Free initial consultation and transparent cost planning as standard. Book your appointment on 089 95760618 or online.
How much does caries treatment cost in Munich?
Composite fillings for front teeth are covered by statutory health insurance and are free of charge. For back teeth a co-payment of approximately €80–200 applies for tooth-coloured fillings. Ceramic inlays range from €400–900 depending on size. At our practice you receive a transparent treatment and cost plan before every procedure. Call us on 089 95760618.
How does tooth decay develop?
Caries develops through the interplay of bacteria, sugar and time. Cariogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans metabolise sugar and produce acids that demineralise tooth enamel. When this balance is chronically disrupted by frequent sugar consumption, insufficient oral hygiene or too little fluoride, demineralisation progresses — and caries develops. Our saliva can remineralise the enamel during rest periods; sufficient sugar-free intervals between meals are therefore so important.
What are the symptoms of tooth decay?
In the early stage, caries causes no complaints — the patient feels nothing. Only when the decay reaches the dentine do sensitivities to sweet, cold or hot foods arise. Spontaneous toothache is a sign that the nerve tissue (pulp) is already affected and root canal treatment may become necessary. Do not wait for pain — regular check-ups at our practice in Munich-Oberföhring ensure early detection.
Does caries treatment hurt?
No. With modern local anaesthesia (articaine), caries treatment is completely pain-free. Patients feel no pain during the procedure, only slight pressure or vibration from the instrument. After the anaesthesia wears off, the tooth may be slightly sensitive for one to two days — this is a normal reaction and resolves on its own. For patients with dental anxiety, we offer additional relaxation options at our practice — please contact us on 089 95760618.
How long does a caries treatment appointment take?
A small to medium composite filling usually takes 30 to 45 minutes; larger restorations may take 60 minutes. A ceramic inlay requires two appointments: the first for preparation, impression and temporary restoration, the second — after 1 to 2 weeks of laboratory work — for placement. Each appointment takes 30 to 60 minutes. We always inform you transparently about the time required before treatment so that you can plan your day.
Which filling material is best?
The answer depends on the defect. For small to medium cavities, composite is an excellent, tooth-coloured and biocompatible choice. For medium to large defects in the posterior region, ceramic inlays offer superior durability (15–20+ years), more precise marginal fit and better colour stability. Glass ionomer is suitable in certain situations as a base layer or for deciduous teeth. Amalgam is losing relevance due to EU regulations. At our practice we advise you individually — no standard solution.
