Nowadays, articles like "Get rid of tooth decay for two bucks" are circulating on Facebook and WhatsApp. Everyone wants to take care of their health. But what happens is that there is a lot of doubt as to whether these forwards are really the solution. This article will definitely help you to resolve these doubts.
Teeth are a very important but somewhat neglected part of our body. Hence its importance is not soon realized. When the baby is in the mother's womb, the tooth cavity is formed at the same time. In fact, proper care should be taken from then on. This means that a healthy diet and adequate amount of calcium should go into the mother's stomach.
Of course, these questions and answers are based on misconceptions among parents about what we can do at home to prevent dental caries. However, in case of serious illness or special pediatric illness, consult an expert. The answers given here are about the most common dental diseases.
◆What is tooth decay?
Dental caries is a disease caused by bacteria in the mouth. Of course there are no worms or larvae in the teeth. In some villages, there are street performers who put medicine in their ears and pull out tooth worms from their mouths. Whatever it is. Sometime again about that trick ...
Bacteria in the mouth produce acids by processing the sugars in the food particles stored on the teeth, and these acids begin to dissolve the lining on the surface of the teeth. This process continues slowly but steadily. More food particles get trapped in the cavity, more and more bacteria continue to attack the acid, the cavity continues to grow, the surface of the tooth is eroded and then a large hole falls into the tooth. This is what we call cavity. It is best to have a dentist fill the cavity of the tooth when it is small in size. Once a hole is made in the tooth, it cannot heal automatically (as the wound heals). It should be noted that the tooth does not have the same reproductive capacity as the skin. But when there is no pain, it is a universal bitter truth that is usually ignored.
Bacteria enter the second layer of the tooth called dentin by penetrating the lining of the tooth. Rarely does the pain start here, it hurts for a while while eating sweets, but stops immediately. This is the perfect time to fill the teeth with silver or composite. But if it continues, the bacteria enter the veins of the teeth (pulp exposure) and unbearable pain starts.
◆What to do to prevent pests?
To understand this, one must first understand how the pest spreads.
You know that 1. Bacteria 2. Donor surface 3. Dietary sugar 4. The time required for the process requires these four things. If you don't have any of these, you won't get pests.
This means that in order to control pests, one should try to control one or all of these four factors.
●Some points: 1. You can't get rid of bacteria in your mouth. Because even healthy mouths contain bacteria. Which are called Normal oral microflora?
2. You can strengthen the tooth surface/enamel a little by using fluoride paste so that it will not get infected easily or this process can be reversed in the very early stages of infection. Of course, fluoride will not be useful for large cavities in a sore tooth.
3. Dietary sugar / starchy foods: It is up to you to control it. Eating fewer sweets that can get stuck on the surface of the teeth, e.g. It is important to avoid chocolates and sticky sweets, snacking between two meals or constantly eating sweets, and eating fibrous foods (raw vegetables, fruits).
4. Processing time: If you rarely eat sweets, immediately remove the sticky food from the teeth using a brush. Now this means how soon? If a child has chocolate in one hand, he should have a brush in the other hand. Pests can be prevented only if the chocolate runs out and the brushing should start. In this way we can control the fourth element.
