Dental caries are mostly perceived as cavities with dark colorings. Although it is a preventable disease, there are very few people in the world who do not experience tooth decay.
Bacteria plaque, which is composed of bacteria in the mouth, can form acid from residues of mouth and floury foods. These acids dissolve the mineral texture of the teeth and cause tooth degeneration and ultimately start the tooth decay and cause dentists to cavities. Dental caries, which have been considered as an unknown disease for many years, is now known to be a "very causal disease". There are three main factors of dental caries:
· Bacterial plaque (also called dental plaque),
· Carbohydrate foods (Sugar, flour ...),
· Inherent agents (Structure of tooth. Composition of saliva ...)
If one of these factors is changed in a person with a balanced dental health, the bruise will occur.
Caries and carved teeth are easily recognized by their dark cavities. Sometimes, however, the caries pit remains hidden, and the dentist can only diagnose with ancillary diagnostic tools (eg dental x-ray). Often, the decay is seen at the intersection of the dental tubercles, ie, the bumps, or at the neck of the tooth. Hidden bruises between the two teeth are not noticed for a long time. This kind of bruises, "... I thought the stone came to my teeth when I was eating, I also looked, a part of my mouth in my mouth ..." We often hear. Pain is the most important symptom that requires the dentist to consult the dentist. Pain is cold, hot, sweet or sour. The severity of the pain varies from person to person, and the pain goes away; however, untreated bruising, the pain becomes continuous after a while.
How does dental caries progress? Caries always start from the surface of the tooth and progresses to the dentin layer. Dentin contains more organic matter than enamel. Therefore, the bruise spreads more quickly in this layer and penetrates the dentin like a twirl; however, the speed of the decay varies greatly from person to person and from tooth to tooth. One thing to note is that the dentin is a defensive organ of the tooth. At the end of the channels described in the previous section of dentin, there are construction and repair cells called odontoblast and these can clog with the dentine repair tissue. Just like the defenders of a fortress have repaired the gutters with roses ... This spontaneous defense can sometimes be inadequate in the face of rapidly advancing caries.
What should be done to protect against caries? The first thing that needs to be done should be to go to the dentist and comply with his recommendations. In fact, caries prevention is a matter of personal will, and we must all be aware of the comfort of the healthy teeth and healthy teeth.
Dental plaque and carbohydrate foods cause caries? Nowadays, there are many researches about bacterial plaque and it is understood that bacterial plaque with sugar is one of the main factors of caries. Can a bacterial plaque be seen? Yes, it can be seen. They are whitish impurities in the neck of the teeth and between the two teeth. (The dyestuffs and solutions known as "Disclosing Tablet" or "Disclosing solution" are sold on the market to facilitate recognition.)
