Demonstrated caries infected!
05-09-2009
In teeth constantly occur two opposing processes - demineralization and mineralization of recovery (remineralization): due to the effect of microorganisms (bacteria) and plaques (attacks on the tooth surface) at the beginning of the tooth enamel, and then from the solid tissue of the tooth actually released minerals, such as calcium, resulting in teeth demineralization. Saliva acts on this process neytralizuyusche, postponing the excess minerals back into the solid substance of the teeth, due to this happening remineralization of teeth.
However, this process is not a strict balance, as demineralization takes place six times faster than remineralization. For this reason, harmful to the teeth, deposits must be constantly removed so as not to arose caries.
Demineralized tooth surface plots have the form of white spots. At this stage, teeth can be targeted remineralizirovany ftorizatsiey. If the tooth is formed, then the diseased tissue of the tooth must be removed, and emerged in its place a hole tightly sealed dental fillings. To do this, before the dentist has a large set of sealing materials.
Contagious whether caries?
Recent studies have shown that the cause of tooth decay should be attributed to the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, whereas lactobacilli (lactic acid bacillus fermentation) are responsible for their distribution in the oral cavity. This means that dental caries does not occur only due to poor oral hygiene, but can also be transported as an infectious disease from one person to another. How does this happen? At the time of birth the infant oral cavity is practically free from bacteria. They settled there only in the first months of life. If, for example, mother, father or anyone from taking care of them people have the bacteria in the mouth and lick the spoon-feeding the child or the child had fallen on the floor dummy, these bacteria can get into the mouth of the child, and he also gets tooth decay. Therefore, supervise, please yourself: do not lick the spoon with his child feeding, sterilize the pacifier had fallen on the floor, and above all, try to put in order their carious teeth.
Saliva shows the development of caries
Dental caries is no longer so very difficult and intractable problem. An effective auxiliary means now is the analysis of saliva. He not only reveals the existing bacteria, but can characterize the degree of risk. Set the amount of salivation. On this basis, one can judge the ability of saliva to neutralize the acid split. In addition, we can calculate the number of streptococci, which are considered major contributors to tooth decay, and the number of lactic acid bacilli, also triggers the disease.
For the analysis of saliva for several days placed in a special incubator. After that, the results obtained, the physician can make a targeted therapy for the patient and decide what to do next to prevent tooth decay.
Dental causes severe disease
If you do not help the medicines prescribed by a physician, and health status has consistently failed to improve, go to the dentist. It turns out that sore tooth can cause diseases of virtually any part of the body.
Consequences
Caries, which many consider a harmless, sometimes causing inflammation, fistulas, cysts, and also promotes the penetration of bacteria and toxins in the body. Most of the patients teeth, acute sinusitis, kidney, stomach, intestines, asthma, pain in the joints and spine, rheumatism. Furthermore, European doctors argue that dental caries can cause diseases of the ovaries and cause infertility in men. British doctors say that dental caries is particularly dangerous for those who decided on the hip joints - under the influence of bone infection can become brittle and will be unable to withstand the prosthesis. The only salvation from these troubles - careful hygiene and regular prophylaxis oral cavity.
Rules of hygiene.
We all know that, and when we do, but do not always follow those rules. Try to regularly visit the dentist, do not run the patients teeth, use toothpaste with fluoride compounds, change your toothbrush every three months, and brush your teeth after each meal. This will certainly help you cope with many ailments.
