Why is caries and how to deal with it?
Caries is a complex pathological process that takes place in the hard tissues of the tooth and leads to their destruction.
More than 700 species of various bacteria inhabit the oral cavity. But only some of them are the cause of caries, these are the so-called cariogenic microorganisms : Streptococcus, Lactobacillus, Actinomyces and others.
Tigran Grigoryan, General Dentist
Bacteria accumulate on the surface of the teeth in the form of a dense film. They easily convert nutrients into organic acid. It is acids that destroy our enamel, wash out calcium and fluorine. Due to the loss of "building materials" a carious hole is formed. With prolonged contact of the acid with the enamel, the structure of the dental tissue is disturbed, microspaces appear on the surface, and with time a cavity forms. Consider to begin with the structure of the tooth, our tooth consists of a crown, cervical and root parts.
Take the crown part of the tooth (this is the tooth itself, which we see) and consider its structure: this part of the tooth consists of enamel (the protective shell of the tooth), dentin which is under the enamel (in dentin more than 60,000 dentinal tubules, due to which the metabolism in tooth). Roughly speaking, under the dentin there is a pulp chamber (nervous chamber).
So, the teeth have two dangerous zones in which bacteria accumulate and the process of tooth decay begins, these are fissures (natural cavities on the chewing surfaces of the teeth) and the contact surface between the teeth after eating and poor hygiene food gets into these micro spaces and begins to rot, punching Enamel in one place as the enamel does not deteriorate extensively, which cannot be said about dentin. After the caries breaks through the enamel, it begins to destroy the dentin from the inside like a worm apple, as the dentin is very soft, afterwards, because of a cavity in the tooth, everything is squeezed inside when the tooth is pressed or the tooth starts to ache and the Patient turns to the dentist, half of the damaged tooth leaves, collapses. Most of the tooth due to untimely treatment to the dentist.
It is possible to prevent caries both at an early age and late and to keep it under control. First of all, when the child has permanent teeth, the fissures should be sealed (close the micro gaps of the tooth with light material) so that infection does not accumulate there and to accustom the child to oral hygiene from an early age with a brush and irrigator. With the help of an irrigator under pressure of water, it is possible to remove the infection in hard-to-reach places and in the future it is necessary to visit the dentist at least once every six months, so that the dentist can monitor the condition of the oral cavity and prevent infectious processes in the initial stage. At a later age, you need to visit the dentist and eliminate caries, ranging from caries in the staining stage to deep caries, treatment and a complete integrated aesthetic and functional restoration of the tooth. Since one should not forget that nothing eternal does not happen, even after a quality treatment, one should always go for planned examinations and monitoring of your doctor so that all processes can be removed in the initial stage and hygiene of the cavity must be carefully carried out with both a brush and an irrigator.
