Canker sores:
These small buttons cause painful sores in the mouth. To treat them without resorting to medication, here are some recipes.
Walk in the woods and pick up still green eyes that you chew. Their very astringent juice should treat your canker sores. You can also leave some sloes macerate in alcohol, to get a dye, with which you dab your sores.
Try also: green bark surrounding fresh walnuts.
It also gets good results with blackberry syrup and honey added alum (1 to 2 decigram for 30 grams of honey), and chewing stalks of raw rhubarb.
And if you have any of these products on hand, open the pharmacy and take it from \ alcohol iodized, where you brush your mouth ulcers.
Abscesses:
To ripen an abscess by natural means, you can use a piece of cooked cabbage and applied even lukewarm on the place sick. Or lettuce leaves boiled in water, drained and then put to soak in olive oil Y. Use these sheets as compresses held in place by bands Velpeau. It is obviously necessary to renew the treatment several times a day. Some people also use a half baked potato with water which they apply the flesh still warm (not too much!) On the skin.
Dental abscess:
While waiting to go see the dentist, try this recipe used in the East: cooked a dry figs cut in half in milk. Then this figure still somewhat warm impair on the gums, and keep it in your mouth as long as possible. Repeat this treatment several times in the day to hasten the ripening of the abscess.
Carie:
The WHO (World Office of Health) has classified as caries third global scourge, just after cancer and cardiovascular disease.
To prevent (and it is quite possible), you must have good hygiene and particularly brushing teeth three times a day, preferably with a fluoride toothpaste which has been medically proven preventive action: it decreases by 60% from caries. For this reason also that many pediatricians give fluoride tablets for babies, in a way to immunize.
And since talk of fluoride, you know that tea contains?
In children, attention to the sweet evening: the sugar all night to become corrosive acid that attacks the teeth.
How to protect children's teeth
Carie and fluorine
But when So is this the ideal time to take a child to a dentist? Some advise to go before the age of one year, others recommend waiting for the age of 2-3 years. When you think about it, between the two, there is also the issue of comfort to consider! If your baby starts screaming when he sees the dentist, doctor or anyone else, it becomes a traumatic experience for everyone we do not like to repeat. So, from there to make an appointment to the dentist voluntarily! ! It is true that with proper maintenance house, we can afford to wait a little baby grow!
A little but not too much ... Knowledge waited for her daughter has three years to bring to the dentist ... Little was petrified of doctors and nurses, so his mother was reluctant to conduct an in the dentist ... The good news is that it went very well between the dentist and the child ... The bad, the child had 10 Cavities!
Baby Care
Even before its first teeth appear, we should clean the baby's gums with a soft washcloth after each meal. It is when the first tooth appears that we begin to use a soft toothbrush. It may take a little toothpaste. An amount corresponding to the size of a pea enough.
Young children, like the girl we spoke just now, are particularly sensitive to the so-called bottle tooth decay, cavities that are caused by the prolonged presence of liquid into the mouth of the child, as when he falls asleep with her bottle tooth! It is nice to see, but not innocent ... Only a rigorous maintenance of the mouth and regular visits to the dentist can prevent cavities in children.
Child care
Speaking of maintenance ... It's funny to say, but the hardest part when a child learns to brush their teeth, this is not the exercise itself ... It's to teach him to spit "good toothpaste to Bubblegum" rather than swallow ...! Not always obvious! Yet it is very important to spit and rinse their mouth, because if the child ingested its toothpaste as candy, it will be left with a problem of fluoride overdose.
Fluor
Fluoride works in two ways on the tooth during their training, it makes your teeth up to a certain extent naturally resistant to decay. When teeth have erupted through the gum, fluorine that is added absorbs and reduces 60 percent risk of developing cavities.
Fluoride is important for the protection of teeth. But the child who absorbs too much fluorine will develop what is known in the jargon of the trade, dental fluorosis. The main consequence of this is the appearance of brown spots or white not very pretty on her teeth ... And in addition, the enamel of the teeth will become rough and therefore difficult to clean, a problem more! It is a pity because these children often end up in cosmetic dentistry, later in adolescence or adulthood, so the spots may be apparent, and so embarrassing!
So before giving fluoride supplements to your child, it is important to at least two things: A phone call to see if your city "fluore" tap water and a close reading of your tube of toothpaste ... In with a good idea of the amount of fluoride your child absorbs, you'll be better able to judge precautions ... And a little visit to the dentist it does not!

The no pain of tooth decay is very dangerous
Tooth decay
Details
Dental caries is a process that occurs slowly over time. It usually starts on the outer layer of enamel of the tooth, where the plate was formed. In general, this stage is painless and often goes unnoticed.
Bunt then penetrates dentin which is linked to nerve cells in the pulp of the tooth. You may start to notice a greater sensitivity, or even pain, although this stage can also be difficult to detect.
As the process of decay accelerating during this stage, it reaches the soft tissues, and they can no longer bear the enamel. It was at this point that the tooth is deteriorating and that the cavity starts to form.
If decay is not treated, it will eventually reach the pulp of the tooth, containing nerves, and cause pain, usually in the form of a sore tooth. The tooth could die if the decay is not treated.
An infection can cause abscesses and spread to the teeth or neighbors to other parts of the body. If infection is detected in time, it is possible to save the tooth with a root canal. If the tooth can not be saved, it will probably withdraw.
As the early stages of tooth decay are usually painless and go unnoticed, it is very important to see the dentist every six months for cleaning and examination.

Dental check-up is very important
Even without apparent problem, regular consultation from your dentist is important. It will indeed carry out preventive dental and oral hygiene and diagnose any problems biggest dental because of caries, of an infection or loosening.
Cavities and gum disease responsible for complex and expensive care may also be prevented by a fairly simple everyday hygiene.
► Brushing teeth
The plaque, instead of bacteria is causing cavities and inflammation of the gums. As it is recovering quickly, it is necessary to eliminate it by brushing teeth, if possible at least twice a day using a toothbrush naked flexible to change regularly every three months.
Minimum recommended daily brushings two
Period brushing: three minutes
► The thread of floss and jet aircraft
Using a wire dental floss, in addition to brushing helps remove plaque in the front side of teeth.
The use of a jet aircraft may also be useful to remove food debris and massaging gums
► An annual visit
An annual visit to the dentist can detect caries-time start and will be an opportunity to practice scaling to remove plaque.
Two sessions scalers are reimbursed by social security.
Warning: The development of dental plaque between the base of the tooth and the gum can lead, eventually, loosening teeth. Curettage under local anesthesia may be necessary.
This cycle is not reimbursed by social security.
► Watch for children
For smaller, it is imperative to avoid candy and other sweets at night and prefer candy or chewing gum with sugar.
Additional inputs of fluoride in the mother during pregnancy and in childhood may be advised by a doctor to strengthen teeth.
Finally, it is essential to inform the child use a toothbrush, as young as two or three years.
► free dental oral balance.
In adolescence the risk of dental caries is particularly high.
In 80% cases, these cavities develop in the grooves of molars. In a film of flowing synthetic resin fluid on paths, it is possible to prevent cavities. This treatment r EIMBURSEMENT by Social Security until age 14 can be done right out of the first molars.
In addition, a free dental and oral assessment has been set up to for children 6, 9 and 12 and adolescents between 15 and 18 years.
In this context, any dental care will be covered for six months to 100% by social security, with the exception of prosthetic and orthodontics.

Preventing tooth decay. Fluoride is not automatic!
Times change. In the early 80s, health professionals thought should be given fluoride by General (tablets, drops) during the mineralization of teeth to prevent the formation of cavities.
The French Agency for the Safety of Health Products (AFSSAPS) released Wednesday a "updating" of its 2002 recommendations.
The ASSAP now recommends to cease the provision of fluoride in children less than six months and recommends for more than a prescription 6months depending on the individual risk of the child, taking care to excess, according to agency medicine.
"Beyond 6 months, the use of fluoride should be adjusted in the light of the risk of cavities in children, in addition to the daily brushing teeth," says the Afssaps.
In cases of "low risk", the agency recommends brushing teeth with a fluoride toothpaste (adapted to the age of the child), and after 3 years at least 2 times a day.
For high risk, in addition to brushing, a contribution in the form of drops or tablets is advised from the first appearance of teeth.
In recent years, differences had emerged including age, systematic or not fluoride supplementation and its method of administration. Hence various recommendations, those of the French Union for Oral Health (UFSBD) in 2000, the Afssaps in 2002 and the French Society of Pediatric Dentistry (SFOP) in 2004.
"The protective maximum efficiency is achieved through the contributions of small but regular fluoride in the mouth," adds the Afssaps.
In France there is a decrease in the frequency of dental caries. But "20 to 30% of children are 80% of caries." Poor diet, lack of brushing teeth, low socio-economic family, increase the risk.
A review of the daily intake of fluorine-taking other sources of fluoride (drinking water, salt) - should precede the prescription to prevent the child develops a "dental fluorosis, an excess of fluoride cause stains on teeth.
In fact, an overdose (between 10 and 40 milligrams per day) can lead to the opposite effect, ie to fluorosis: the enamel is porous, teeth color will be weakened. Bone lesions can also occur.
However, sources of fluoride have multiplied with of course the tablets from birth, toothpastes or gels. But also with table salt fluoride, also used in school canteens. Moreover, tap water in some areas is richer in fluoride. But 85% of French people live in municipalities where the fluoride content in drinking water is very low, around 0.3 milligrams per liter. However, it is forbidden in France to add the bread in food or industrial salt fluoride. Some bottled mineral water containing high levels. This diversity of sources of fluoride, without clear message known by the public about the desired levels of consumption, helping to increase the risk of overdose.

How to prevent tooth decay
Your teeth teeth are valuable because they serve you to eat, speak, breathe, smile ...
They are alive and they need you to take care of them!
They fear the bacteria and microbes that eat carbohydrates (like sugar). After the meal, there is still waste your teeth (sugar ...). It is therefore important to wash your teeth or bacteria of dental plaque multiply and produce acids (production of acids) that attack the enamel (demineralization). Caries is a transmissible infectious disease causing a hole in the tooth and sometimes an abscess.
To avoid cavities, you can try to follow these 4 tips:
1) to test you brush your teeth at least twice a day care for at least 2 minutes. Remember that all teeth are important: it must give all! It must also provide the above behind and in front! ... Ie everywhere. To do this you must use a soft toothbrush, non-aggressive and a fluoride toothpaste to prevent tooth decay. This way you can remove dental plaque (made up of bacteria among others) and bacteria responsible for cavities.
2) Test also eat less sugar and drink less soda: they are the enemies of your teeth.
3) Avoid snacking between meals if you have hunger, you can take a fruit because it contains little sugar.
Indeed, if you use regular sugar, this results in a constant hyper-acidity of the mouth: this hyper-acidity destroyed the harmony normally present between 300-600 types of bacteria in the mouth. In fact, many bacteria growing (flora mouth). Only survive the acid-resistant bacteria. They multiply and can not multiply by producing acids through consumption of sugar, resulting in a lower pH in the mouth. These acid-resistant bacteria are streptococcus mutans, the Actinomyceset the lactobacillus.
4) Do not forget to visit your dentist at least 2 times a year! Click on this little book. It may explain why it is important to go to the dentist!

Cheese and tooth decay
Abstract
Following a request from the National Dairy Council, submitted in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 through the competent authority of Ireland, the Panel on dietetic products, nutrition and allergies has been asked to render an opinion on the scientific justification of a health claim on dairy products (milk and cheese) and dental health.
The purpose of the application has been proposed as the scope of health claims referring to the development and the health of children.
In this application, the definition of the category of food products including dairy milk and cheese. The Panel considers that the food on which the claim (ie milk and cheese) are not sufficiently characterized example, the nutritional composition and its variability depending on the products have not been provided.
The alleged purpose of "promoting dental health" for reducing the development of dental caries. Dental caries are highly prevalent in the EU, especially among children. Dietary factors can influence the development of dental caries. Children are the target population.
Four observational studies cross rapportent or lower frequency of tooth decay among children consuming milk compared with those who do not drink or consumption of milk much lower in children with symptoms of caries compared to those who do not. No link between stock caries and consumption of milk has been found in two prospective cohort studies. No study intervention was provided on the effect of milk on the development of tooth decay among children. Studies on rodents indicate that cow's milk is not cariogenic and that milk might have a slight protective effect against cariogenic sucrose. The Panel considers that the information provided is not sufficient to establish a causal relationship between consumption of milk and reducing the development of tooth decay among children.
A study of intervention allowed to examine the effects of daily consumption of a piece of hard cheese from 5 grams in children 7 to 9 years on increasing the cavities by measuring the surfaces of teeth, absent or sealed. At the end of the intervention period of two years, the surface of teeth decayed, missing or filled the experimental group (0.65) was clearly lower than in the control group (2.4). The Panel considers that the weaknesses of this study limit its value as a source of data confirming a causal link between the consumption of hard cheese and reducing the development of tooth decay among children.
A prospective cohort study and a cross-sectional study of observation in children show a protective effect of hard cheese against cavities and show a dose-effect relationship. However, these two studies have described the scheme or diet or other factors related to lifestyle in a comprehensive manner. A prospective cohort study shows no link between consumption of cheese and indicated the development of caries.
The Panel considers that the information provided is not sufficient to establish a causal relationship between consumption of cheese and reducing the development of tooth decay among children.
The Panel concludes that, based on the data presented, no causal link has been established between consumption of milk or cheese and dental health among children.

Breast-feeding infant tooth decay
Once your child has teeth, tooth decay can occur. Breast milk, infant formula, cow's milk and fruit juices contain sugar. Babies can have cavities because they go to bed with a bottle of milk, infant formula or juice, or in tétant asleep in their mother's mouth still full of milk.
Such cavities can occur until the age of four. Once your child has teeth, lift his lips and teeth check every month. Beware of spots or lines of a dull white that can form on teeth near the gums. Beware also of teeth darkening.
If any of these signs appear, go see your dentist immediately. We must deal quickly decay in young children. Otherwise your child may feel pain and catching an infection.
If you give a bottle of milk, infant formula or juice at bedtime, stop on the spot will not be easy. Here's how the Canadian Dental Association suggests you proceed:
Fill the bottle of water only.
If your child refuses, give him a lollipop own, a plush toy or blanket.
If your child cries, do not give up.
Comfort your child and try again.
If nothing works, try to dilute the milk bottle-feeding your child with water during a period of one to two weeks, until there is more than just water .

Small knowledge of dental caries
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.

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.
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.

Tooth decay, the No. 1 enemy of our teeth
The tooth decay is an infectious disease that damages tooth structure. It is a lesion of the enamel and dentin which is favored by poor hygiene of the mouth, excessive consumption of sugar, tobacco, or certain diseases such as diabetes, thyroid or problems still corticosteroid treatment.
Prevention is the best gesture against cavities. Daily brushing and careful with a soft toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste at the end of each meal is imperative. The floss must be a daily, because it removes food stuck between teeth.
Some tips to prevent cavities
Brushing imperative, must be accompanied by a few habits such qu'éviter of snacks between meals, drinking sugary drinks or even light, very cariogenic because they increase bacterial activity by acidifying the mouth, which promotes cavities.
Water should be the preferred drink, especially among young children.
If you do not have access to her toothbrush, a sugarless chewing gum can be used to reduce acidity mouth, very challenging for saliva, which plays a protective role of the oral cavity significantly pending the next mechanical brushing.
A balanced diet should focus on food compared to full refined foods, and decrease the maximum foods containing sugar.
Finally, the regular screening to the dentist can treat caries at an early stage. Dental injuries will be minimal.
There is no cure for dental caries, its progress was stopped by his curettage and plugged the residual cavity.
To prevent cavities and other dental problems, screening is ideally every 6 months to the dentist.

The three reasons for the formation of tooth decay
The causes
The cavities are formed as a result of the combination of three factors, namely food, the formation of tooth plaque. Nutrition plays two distinct roles in oral health: first, nutrients consumed affect the development and maintenance of tissues of the mouth and, secondly, property and food composition influence the plaque and the amount of saliva. Good nutrition helps produce enough saliva. Saliva helps to neutralize the acid produced by bacteria to help the process of remineralization of the tooth. Decay occurs when periods of demineralization exceed those of mineralization. The diet plays a direct role in the prevention of dental caries as saliva, fluoride and good oral hygiene. The acidity of saliva influence the development of caries. One need only think of people who do not brush their teeth daily and with no more cavities than those who do three times a day. Their acidity is probably lower than others.
Among the factors associated with the incidence of caries is the sugar content of the food, the texture (liquid, solid food that adheres to teeth), the retention time in the mouth (which increases the time bacteria can feed), the time interval between meals / snacks (decreases time remineralization / demineralization), the frequency of consumption of sugary foods and the consumption of foods at a meal.
Heredity parents also plays a role in the quality of teeth of the person. The plaque in turn is the result of food debris, saliva and bacteria that attach to the tooth. The bacteria in dental plaque assimilate sugars, multiply and secrete an acid that attacks tooth and led to the formation of cavities.
Bottle syndrome
A type of decay observed in young children is the bottle syndrome. The bottle syndrome is characterized by severe dental caries. If a child takes his bottle during naps and at night, the liquid flowing from bottles accumulate around the teeth and produce acidity, high responsible for tooth decay. Milk, formula milk and fruit juices contain sugar. The bottle should not be left to the child during his sleep, so to avoid that liquids can stay around the teeth
Symptoms and signs
The cavities are housed in areas difficult to clean. It takes the appearance of a stain that blackens the enamel of the tooth. It attacks the fabric of the crown (enamel, dentin and cementum) and form a hole. If the decay reaches the pulp, the person will feel the pain. More decay progresses, the tooth becomes more sensitive. It will be particularly sensitive to cold, heat and sugars.
Treatment and prevention
It would be wrong to think that we repair a bunt just to the aesthetic side. If it does not decay, it will reach the dentin (ivory), allowing bacteria to reach the pulp and cause infection of the bone (abscess). It should therefore be treated as soon as possible to avoid damage to make greater. The dental cavity is first cleaned to remove all traces of bacteria and plugged by a product catering, for example, the amalgam.
The research, methods of hygiene today, prevention programs and education have greatly contributed to reducing tooth decay and to safeguard the teeth of adults. Not so long ago, it was not uncommon to wear dentures at the age of 30 years. Apart from the wisdom teeth, it rarely extract teeth. They are on repairs or replaces them with prosthetics (crown, bridge, etc.).. However, the new repair methods create a certain letting go of the people they are now convinced they can eat everything and they do not wash their teeth regularly since the dentist is here to repair excesses.
Whatever our dietary habits, oral hygiene is very important in the prevention of dental caries. Brushing teeth as a main means. A good brushing should take about two to three minutes. It must be strong, common (2 to 3 times a day, especially at bedtime) and done correctly, ie from root to tip over the entire surface of the tooth. It must rinse the brush between each use - a small washing in the dishwasher can remove bacteria that might be there - and change it regularly. The toothpaste should be used sparingly (the size of a pea green) so that the brush falls into contact with the teeth and not that it glides over them. Gargle with mouthwash can help prevent dental plaque, but mention that this is not an infallible. The use of wire (silk) Dental is recommended, particularly among adults who are more likely to experience periodontal disease. The floss can remove pieces of food lodged between teeth and not easily accessible with the brush. Of course, regular visits (1 annually) to the dentist to help prevent and treat caries.
Fluor
The use of fluoride is an excellent way to prevent tooth decay. He joins in dentin and enamel during tooth formation of the tooth and acts as a shield. It is therefore recommended that the children fluoridated water, drops or tablets of fluoride during the first 12 years of their lives. The dentist will benefit from the annual visit your child to apply on its fluorine teeth. You should know that fluoride affects the teeth in training and has no effect on adult teeth.
Cleaning teeth in children
If your child is too young to use a toothbrush, clean teeth and gums with your finger that you have wrapped in a moist gauze or a small washcloth. When your child is older and brush his teeth alone, we need help from time to time and see if his brushing technique is adequate. Visual inspection is the best way to control the dental habits of a child. Look around food particles between teeth and teeth. Do not forget to visit your dentist regularly to clean your child's teeth and to monitor its teeth.
Food focus
During a meal, the last food ingested has a great influence on the duration of acidification of dental plaque. The anticaries foods are rich in fiber, nuts, eggs, meat and cheese. Studies are trying increasingly to demonstrate that the cheese would be a means of prevention against cavities. It is alkaline, contains calcium, phosphorus and casein, a protein that protects tooth enamel and prevent demineralization. In addition, cheese stimulates saliva production, which helps to dilute the sugars and to eliminate the mouth. If it happens that you take a snack and you can not brush your teeth, finish your meal with a piece of cheese, raw vegetables or nuts.
Foods to avoid
The diet rich in carbohydrates is a major cause of tooth decay. The most cariogenic foods are the sticky or sugary confectionery, cakes or chocolate bars and sweet, soft drinks sirotées long by infants (bottles in bed) or by young children. It is therefore preferable to eat these foods quickly rather than stretch their consumption throughout the day. Foods rich in starch (complex carbohydrates: bread, cereals, pasta ...) can also be harmful if they remain long in the mouth or if consumed frequently during the day. The sugars in fruit are also cariogenic action. In addition, foods that do not produce saliva are more likely to cause cavities.

Sugar and tooth decay are bedfellows
Sugar and tooth decay are bedfellows
The cavity is a phenomenon of demineralization of hard tissue of the tooth (enamel, dentin, cementum), caused by the acidic conditions created by sugars made by food and bacteria of dental plaque. The sugar consumption is a critical element in the formation of cavities.
Sugar the most cariogenic "are fast sugars, including sucrose, the main component of sugar cane and beet. This is the most widely used in confectionery. Then glucose (from industrial corn, used in pastry), fructose (fruit sugar), lactose (milk sugar) and starch (sugar slow grains and starchy), which is much less cariogenic.
Preventing Cavities
Hygiene is fundamental: it prevents the formation of plaque and the action of bacteria.
Prevention is based on 3 elements:
The fluorine, given in addition to early childhood through adolescence by prescription dentist, improves resistance to tooth decay;
An oral hygiene strict and regular dental checks every 6 months;
The limitation of cariogenic sugars, so the factor less controllable because the sugar in all its forms is everywhere, in cupboards and refrigerators and in all places that children frequent. Nutrition education gets results in preventing tooth decay, especially in the privileged classes. Like other nutritional imbalance problems (eg obesity), caries is a disease of the poor.

The impact of the decay of food
Au cours des trois dernières décennies, malgré une consommation moyenne en sucres à peu près constante, la présence des caries dentaires chez les enfants et les adolescents a progressivement diminué dans la plupart des pays européens. So what are the factors of this positive trend? It seems it can be attributed to better oral hygiene (brushing teeth more frequent and widespread use of dental floss) and fluoride.
Tooth decay
TLes dental caries are the result of several factors together. First we need to deal with a tooth vulnerable. Then there is presence of a plaque ie bacteria that ferment carbohydrates are present and produce acids which will then cause the erosion of tooth enamel. It should also be sufficient time for demineralisation (dissolution of tooth enamel) to be held but that time is insufficient to natural defense mechanisms of the body "reminéralisent" the tooth to repair the damage.
Each of these factors depends, in turn, other factors. The fluorine, for example, participates in the remineralization and alters the structure of the tooth. It can offer a better resistance to the tooth surface. In addition, the frequency of meals is also important because it is more closer, more bacteria are able to cause fermentation of carbohydrates. Saliva also plays an important role because it neutralizes acid, provides the minerals necessary for the remineralization and also helps to evacuate faster food from the mouth.
Dietary factors
The relationship between diet and dental caries is not as clear as we thought. Admittedly, the relationship between the consumption of carbohydrates and tooth decay has been clearly demonstrated, but the direct role of sugar on caries at this time is less evident in most European countries. Indeed, it is clear that many people regularly consume quantities of sugar relatively large without being prone to dental caries.
A Dutch study has shown that the time food is retained in the mouth is a factor determining the sugar content of foods. In this case, the researchers compared the effects of sweet solutions over a succession of meals and snacks in and have demonstrated that food-based carbohydrates that tend to get nervous s'incruster promote further dental caries that solutions sweet. These foods are not necessarily those we call "sticky" - for example caramels that melt and disappear from the mouth faster than foods rich in starch.
The emphasis on sugar and foods containing sugar in their propensity to cause tooth decay has also changed. We now know that many foods containing carbohydrates and safety are recognized in reality likely to cause cavities. The starch-rich foods - like bread - cause acid production by bacteria in dental plaque, and it's the same with all fruits, which are likely to cause tooth decay. It is necessary to continue to consume such foods, both for pleasure and for the benefits they provide to the agency.
Researchers now believe that the role of food in the field of tooth decay is less related to the type of food itself as individual behavior. Good oral hygiene and fluoride intake, particularly through local application of toothpaste which contain decreased the influence of food in the formation of tooth decay. However, in countries where fluoride toothpastes are hardly available, the frequent consumption of foods containing carbohydrates remains an important factor in tooth decay.
The main source of fluoride is drinking water, which contains a dosage range between 0.05 and 14 ppm. Fluoride is present in all foods, the richest sources from tea and marine fish consumed with their bones (eg anchovies).
Prevention of dental caries
We know now that fluoride and good oral hygiene have a major importance in the prevention of dental caries. Here are some additional tips to prevent the formation of dental caries.
To initiate dental hygiene from an early age - brushing teeth of children as soon as their first teeth apparaissent.Ne not accustom babies to go to bed drinking, whether a bottle of milk, fruit juice or drink sweet. The sugars remain long on teeth and can lead to the emergence of "bottle syndrome".
Clean teeth with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day and use dental floss or toothpicks once a day. Do not eat after having brushed their teeth at night because the flow of saliva decreases during sleep.
It was shown that chewing sugarless gum have a beneficial effect. They help to increase the production of saliva and mouth clean leftover food.
Space enough food and drink consumption, to allow the saliva to neutralize acids. Do not nibble food, do not sip drinks continuously.
Good health is good eating habits.

Day-to-day how to prevent dental caries
The dentist can detect caries (or cavity) through a simple visual inspection. Dental X-ray diagnostic examination is a significant, since it can detect tooth decay even before symptoms appear. This exam is usually done every two or three years for people with good oral health.
Treatment and prevention dental caries and toothache
A cavity is treated according to its gravity. However, if partial destruction of one or more teeth, the dentist will recommend a treatment designed to preserve or damaged teeth in order to avoid any complications. A tooth destroyed, even in part, does not regenerate.
If the cavity is recent, professional cleaning done not a dentist and fluoride treatments can reach to stop the destruction of the tooth. Fluoride helps the enamel to recalcifier and repair.
The usual treatment of a dental cavity filling. This intervention is to eliminate the portion of tooth decay and to replace it with a hard material, which may be an amalgam (a mixture of several metals), gold, porcelain or composite resin. Crowns are used when the cavity is very important and that the basis of the remaining healthy tooth is too weak. The crowns can be gold, porcelain or porcelain and metal. If the nerve of the tooth is "dead", a root canal may be necessary.
Too decayed teeth must be extracted and can be replaced with artificial teeth (bridge, implants or dentures). A bridge usually consists of three or four teeth together, while an implant can set a single tooth. To install an implant, you must first insert a titanium rod in the bone support, the growth of bone around the stem to allow it to be securely anchored to set an artificial tooth. The dentures, familiarly called partial or dentures, is scheduled to adjacent teeth by hook or by the gum adhesive chemicals, and can be withdrawn.
Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent dental caries. Brush your teeth and flossing daily, and remember to consult your dentist regularly for a dental examination.
Tips for brushing teeth:
Try brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
brushing teeth should last at least five minutes, most people do not brushing teeth long enough.
Use a soft toothbrush or an electric toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste.
toothbrush should be inclined at 45 degrees to the junction between the teeth and gums.
Gently brush by making circular movements. A vigorous brushing too damaged gums and teeth.
be sure to paint all surfaces of the teeth and tongue.
Baby teeth may be wiped with a square of gauze waiting to use a toothbrush.
Tips for flossing:
Use dental floss at least once a day.
Gently insert the floss between teeth not to injure your gums.
if your gums bleed, maybe you use the wrong floss or your gums are in poor condition. Consult your dentist about this.
Other tips to prevent the formation of cavities:
take nutritious meals and avoid taking snacks. If you like sugary foods, eat them during meals, when your mouth contains a large quantity of protective saliva.
if you like to chew gum, choose a brand that contains sugar xylitol. This substance helps protect teeth caries.
if your local water contains no fluoride, consult your dentist about supplements made fluoride.

This intervention is to eliminate the portion of tooth decay and to replace it with a hard material, which may be an amalgam (a mixture of several metals), gold, porcelain or composite resin. Crowns are used when the cavity is very important and that the basis of the remaining healthy tooth is too weak. The crowns can be gold, porcelain or porcelain and metal. If the nerve of the tooth is "dead", a root canal may be necessary.
Too decayed teeth must be extracted and can be replaced with artificial teeth (bridge, implants or dentures). A bridge usually consists of three or four teeth together, while an implant can set a single tooth. To install an implant, you must first insert a titanium rod in the bone support, the growth of bone around the stem to allow it to be securely anchored to set an artificial tooth. The dentures, familiarly called partial or dentures, is scheduled to adjacent teeth by hook or by the gum adhesive chemicals, and can be withdrawn.
Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent dental caries. Brush your teeth and flossing daily, and remember to consult your dentist regularly for a dental examination.
Tips for brushing teeth:
Try brushing your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
brushing teeth should last at least five minutes, most people do not brushing teeth long enough.
Use a soft toothbrush or an electric toothbrush and a fluoride toothpaste.
toothbrush should be inclined at 45 degrees to the junction between the teeth and gums.
Gently brush by making circular movements. A vigorous brushing too damaged gums and teeth.
be sure to paint all surfaces of the teeth and tongue.
Baby teeth may be wiped with a square of gauze waiting to use a toothbrush.
Tips for flossing:
Use dental floss at least once a day.
Gently insert the floss between teeth not to injure your gums.
if your gums bleed, maybe you use the wrong floss or your gums are in poor condition. Consult your dentist about this.
Other tips to prevent the formation of cavities:
take nutritious meals and avoid taking snacks. If you like sugary foods, eat them during meals, when your mouth contains a large quantity of protective saliva.
if you like to chew gum, choose a brand that contains sugar xylitol. This substance helps protect teeth caries.
if your local water contains no fluoride, consult your dentist about supplements made fluoride.
Prevention campaign against tooth decay
Prevention campaign against tooth decay
An awareness campaign against the oral diseases is launched by units of screening and monitoring of school health (UDS) across all schools in the wilaya of Béjaïa.
An action supported by the distribution of an adjunct of fluoride tablets, a natural element that protects the teeth and cavities found in water, vegetables, fish, cereals ... "For our region, l Application of fluorine is systematic because the content of fluorine in drinking water is below the required standards. That is why it requires additional support which will affect classes target meadows school, first, second and third primary years, "says one level health services.
The statistics screening of the year 2007 / 2008 is that 90% of students are at risk caries, which shows that tooth decay is a real public health problem. "Of the 1460 students examined by the UDS Sidi Aich, during the third quarter of last year, 1043 are affected by caries," said Dr. Souad Madaoua, coordinator of oral health in the establishment of Close to public health (EPSP) from the resort. The large number of cases of caries detected, calls a broad awareness-raising and especially care, suggests that our interlocutor finally advises that children be initiated in their early years in the reflexes of oral hygiene.

How to deal with tooth decay
The teeth are organs implanted in the jaw, two bony arches which constitute the jaw. The teeth are made of ivory (or dentin) and covered with a hard white substance (the enamel). Inside the tooth cavity is filled with pulp, which is a fabric made of cells and fibers.
Tooth Decay: What is the treatment?
If decay affects only the enamel or the dentin, the dentist can make a shutter using a composite or an amalgam of money. If the tooth is badly damaged, we must restore it with a crown. As against, if the nerve is reached, the dentist must devitalized tooth because the pulp is now unrecoverable. We must therefore use the root canal.
A cavity that is not treated continues to grow and bacteria will eventually attack the alveolar bone below the root. The result will be a very painful abscess to be treated with antibiotics and then move to root canal or extraction, depending on the state of the tooth.
It may also be a chronic injury, which leads to a small button on the gum. It is not painful, but there is still an infection that can last for years if not treated during a root canal.

How is tooth decay
Tooth decay
The teeth are organs implanted in the jaw, two bony arches which constitute the jaw. The teeth are made of ivory (or dentin) and covered with a hard white substance (the enamel). Inside the tooth cavity is filled with pulp, which is a fabric made of cells and fibers.
Tooth decay: Introduction
The tooth decay is an infectious disease that affects the hard tissue of the tooth. If we neglect to wash their teeth for more than 24 hours, it appear a yellowish layer, called plaque, which contains bacteria that convert sugars ingested to form an acid, responsible for the decalcification of hard tissue the tooth. Note that cavities grow faster in children than in adults.
Bunt single does not cause pain. It exposes the pulp of the tooth to cause irritation and sensitivity to certain stimuli. It also achieved the hard tissue at different levels.
Cavities in the enamel
