@dentistry.everyday: 🦷 Caries: why does it appear and how to avoid it? Caries is the most common dental disease, which develops gradually and often unnoticed. If left untreated in the early stages, it can lead to pulpitis, tooth decay and even tooth loss. Let’s figure out where it comes from and how to prevent it! ❓ Why does caries appear? ✅ Plaque and bacteria - food debris serves as a breeding ground for bacteria that secrete acids and destroy enamel. ✅ Frequent consumption of sweets - sugar activates the growth of bacteria and accelerates the process of tooth decay. ✅ Poor oral hygiene - irregular brushing of teeth leads to plaque accumulation. ✅ Genetics and saliva composition - some people have enamel that is more susceptible to destruction. ✅ Lack of fluoride - it strengthens the enamel and makes it resistant to acids. 🔍 How to prevent the development of caries? 🦷 Brush your teeth 2 times a day - at least 2 minutes, thoroughly cleaning all surfaces. 🦷 Use dental floss - the brush does not reach the spaces between the teeth, where caries develops most often. 🦷 Limit sweet and sour drinks - replace soda with water, and candy with nuts or fruits. 🦷 Have regular dental checkups - once every 6 months, the doctor will be able to detect the problem at an early stage. 🦷 Fluoride your teeth - if you have weak enamel, the dentist can carry out professional fluoridation to protect against caries. ❗ What to do if the tooth already hurts? Pain is a sign that caries has already penetrated deep into the tooth tissue. In this case, do not wait for everything to go away on its own - make an appointment with a doctor immediately! Modern treatment methods allow you to remove caries quickly, painlessly and without complications. 💡 Important: early caries can be cured without drilling using remineralization. The sooner you see a dentist, the easier the treatment will be! By@stomionclinic #Caries #HealthyTeeth #Stomion #CariesPrevention #stavropol
