Dental Cavities
The cavity is due to a chemical reaction occurring between food (like sugar), bacteria and enzymes that are in the mouth. This reaction gives an acid that can eat away the enamel of teeth. Over time, a very small hole is formed on the surface of the tooth. Decay begins to clear a path to the inside.
For most people, tooth decay is mainly a problem of childhood, but there are two types that are specific to adults:
The root caries
Brushing teeth too hard for years and aging can cause gum recession, exposing the roots of teeth. As for gums, as they have no enamel to protect them less resistant to infection.
Bunt along the fillings
The fillings are not as smooth as the front teeth. Food particles and bacteria are more easily accommodated, particularly along. The cavities can also develop in the part of the tooth exposed by a shutter damaged.
During the dental examination, the dentist will examine the mouth to the naked eye or through an X-ray. If it finds a bunt, he can either close or observe the progress and expected to have grown before the close. The dentist regularly monitor the status of fillings and replace those that are unstable or damaged.
You can prevent cavities in three easy steps to follow:
Brush your teeth and go on a silk regularly and carefully.
Eat a balanced diet and avoid sugar especially between meals.
Use a cream fluoride toothpaste approved by the Dental Association of your country (for countries that do not have dental association, you can check the CDA). Ask the dentist if fluoride treatment you would be beneficial.
A) Description and Causes
It reaches more than 95% of individuals and appears at an early age, even on temporary teeth. The direct causes of decay are:
degradation of sugary foods by bacteria in the mouth:
There are several species of microbial decay: lactobacillus, streptococcus mutant, actinomycete. These microbes break down food sugars deposited on the teeth produce acids that dissolve the enamel crystals and then in ivory.
saliva although devoid of microbes, he acts, if only by its acidity on the development of caries.
malformations and malpositions teeth also promote the formation of cavities.
The first signs may reveal a bunt pain are cold, hot or sugar.
B) THE COMPLICATIONS OF LOCAL Cavities:
When the bunt is not addressed at the beginning, we can see dental abscesses, granulomas, cysts.
C) THE COMPLICATIONS DIST:
Besides infection neighborhood, there is a risk of complications at a distance because the bacteria enter the circulation and can reach the heart, kidneys, joints and cause an infection in certain circumstances.
