What are ways to know it is a cavity versus something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Visit the dentist: Sometimes there is just no substitute for having an expert look at the problem. Dentists diagnose cavities based off many things... X rays, appearance, hardness, etc. If you aren't sure what you are looking at, have a dentist check it out.
