What is this disease?
Caries is the destruction of enamel and dentin of a tooth, which leads to the formation of defects, namely dark spots, the formation of holes and the complete destruction of the tooth. There are 4 stages of caries: the appearance of spots, superficial caries, medium and deep. In order to avoid deplorable consequences, it is necessary to closely monitor the condition of the oral cavity, if you recognize the initial signs of caries in time, it can be eliminated completely simply and painlessly.
What causes caries?
When eating under the influence of enzymes of saliva in the oral cavity, acids are formed, which dissolve the tooth enamel and wash out minerals and salts from it. The surface of the tooth weakens and begins to collapse. If a person does not follow the simplest rules of hygiene, bacteria begin to multiply in the oral cavity, which devour the tooth enamel. Bacteria can contribute to:
• abuse of sugar-containing products, which contain a large amount of fast carbohydrates: sugar, chocolate, flour products, sweet water and juices, which are also overflowed with harmful acids.
• non-systematic or poor-quality teeth cleaning.
• frequent use of antibacterial agents for the oral cavity, which violate the natural microflora.
• malnutrition, in which the consumption of foods rich in calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium is limited.
