How to prevent caries?
Caries of teeth and inflammatory diseases of periodontal tissues are still the most common human diseases, which makes the prevention of these diseases particularly urgent in the 21st century.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), all over the world, dentists are not able to provide treatment for all dental caries and its complications. However, we all know that the disease is easier to prevent than to cure. The main objectives of prevention are to strengthen the health of patients, early detection of pathology and prevent the development of complications. Dental prevention is composed of a set of activities, of which the most important are maintaining a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet and the harmonious development of the individual.
Unbalanced nutrition, primarily the predominant use of sugars, adversely affects not only the dentition, contributing to the development of caries and periodontal diseases, but also the whole organism (obesity, diabetes, endocrine disorders, etc.).
According to modern views, dental caries occurs due to the penetration and reproduction of the microbial flora. In addition, factors such as unbalanced nutrition, poor overall health, low fluoride content in food and water are contributing factors for the development of caries. However, the primary cause of caries is the presence of an active dental plaque on the surface of the tooth, which is tightly attached to the tooth enamel. In small quantities, dental plaque is not detected, but in a large volume it takes on the appearance of a grayish or yellow-gray mass, which can be seen on the surface of the tooth and separated with a tool. If you do not pay due attention to oral hygiene, then after removing plaque, you can find enamel with a changed dull color or so-called "chalky spots." That is, under the dental plaque demineralization of hard tooth tissues occurs with the subsequent development of destructive forms.
One of the conditions for the full development of teeth in a child is the rational nutrition of the expectant mother during pregnancy. The next important factor is adequate intake of fluoride. The preventive effect of fluoride is to increase the resistance of tooth enamel to the effects of adverse factors. Fluorinated edible salt is produced in the Republic of Belarus. Fluorides are also rich in such products as sea fish, sea kale, green tea, walnuts, parsley, mineral water "Darida", "Smile" and others.
However, since it is bacterial infection that causes carious tooth decay, the main point in keeping the teeth healthy is the removal of bacteria with a toothbrush and toothpaste. The choice of the method and means of brushing your teeth depends on the age of the child, the condition of the hard tissues of the teeth. From 2-3 years old, the child is gradually accustomed by parents to conduct individual oral hygiene. Small children should use a soft bristled toothbrush. If a child does not manage to clean the teeth of plaque, then up to 10 years of age, parents should help children brush their teeth. In addition, dentists recommend the use of additional hygiene products, such as tooth brushes, dental floss, and dental elixirs, which allow you to adjust the hygienic oral care and thus keep your teeth healthy.
