The earliest sign of a new carious lesion is the appearance of a chalky white spot on the surface of the tooth, indicating an area of demineralization of enamel.but this is not seen or observed by one as there will be no pain during this time .
2. As the lesion continues to demineralize, it can turn brown but will eventually turn into a cavitation ("cavity").
.3. Once the decay passes through enamel, the dentinal tubules, which have passages to the nerve of the tooth, become exposed and causes PAIN IN TOOTH .
