The advice of the dentist. How to prevent caries
The sensitivity of the teeth and gums, bad breath, cretaceous spots on the enamel, toothache for no apparent reason - signs of an early stage of caries. Well, if a person regularly, every six months, visits the dentist
fter all, very often caries is hidden in places invisible to the eye, it develops and ultimately destroys a tooth.
Notice on time
“In the past few years, Tatarstanians have become more likely to deal with oral problems, which is good,” says dentist Lyudmila Sitnikova . “Now we can treat early caries and prevent complications.” After all, now there is a hidden caries that even a dentist can distinguish only in bright light with the help of special tools. Often, a person, having not himself found obvious signs of illness, postpones his visit to the doctor for several months, or even years! The patient does not suspect that the delay can turn out unpleasant consequences for him: inflammation of the tooth nerve, caries on the adjacent teeth. Yes, and treatment will cost much more.
- Is it true that caries is "younger"?
- Yes, definitely. The reason for this - poor nutrition and poor oral hygiene. In the diet of children a lot of baking, dry foods (chips, corn sticks, breakfast cereals. - Ed. ). They stick to the surface of the tooth and form the ideal breeding ground for germs. Caries usually occurs between the teeth and in the lower part of the tooth near the gums - places where the teeth do not clean out well.
Microbes “feed on” with scurf and products of their vital activity, affect the enamel, this leads to superficial, and if left untreated, it causes deep caries. The environment also plays a negative role. The water we drink, the air we breathe. Not perfect at all, so it is especially important to put together the condition of the oral cavity. In addition, few people know that infections of the oral cavity from the parents can get into the child’s body through household contact (for example, cause dysbacteriosis). Therefore, when the family is expecting a baby, it is better to be examined by all family members.
Without boring machines
- Is it possible to prevent the occurrence of caries?
Secrets of the ancient Bulgars: how to "revive" the water?
- Need to brush your teeth after each meal. A big mistake would be to drink sweet tea at night and then not to use a toothbrush. There should always be a rinse aid or at least a chewing gum (it’s enough to chew on it for two or three minutes). It is important to use dental floss, because of the accumulation of food debris, caries forms between the teeth. Toothpaste is better to choose, depending on the condition of the teeth - hygienic or therapeutic and prophylactic. Fluorine paste is suitable for many citizens of Tatarstan. Fluoride should flow to the teeth with water, but, unfortunately, Tatarstan is a fluoride-deficient region. Children under 14 years old should take fluoride-containing drugs. But it must be remembered that an excess of fluorine leads to another disease - fluorosis. Therefore, when choosing toothpaste and drugs, it is better to consult a dentist. For home care of teeth, I would recommend a waterpik. The number of harmful bacteria in the mouth is reduced to 90%.
- What new dental treatment technologies have appeared recently?
- Now there are so many new methods of treatment, quick and painless. For example, fluoridation of teeth - surface treatment with special solutions rich in fluoride ions. Technology Icon (AYKON) - treatment of initial caries (at the “spot” stage) without drilling. The whole procedure takes 15-20 minutes. Enamel pores are filled and sealed with polymer composition, as a result of which acids can no longer penetrate inside the tooth, the tooth is preserved.
Unfortunately, only a third of Tatarstanians monitor the health of their teeth. I hope after the publication of these will be more. There is a cherished rule: to prevent disease is better than cure. Do not be afraid to consult a doctor!
