How the formation of dental caries?

Teeth grow, the adhesion of oral bacteria to tooth surfaces, and saliva with mucin formation of plaque in the tooth surface. From the beginning to the bacteria adhesion to the tooth surface plaque mature as long as 3 to 5 days on the line. That is to say, 3 to 5 days if not brush your teeth, the tooth surface can be formed around the plaque. By the dense plaque, internal lack of oxygen to the bacteria in plaque metabolism of anaerobic glycolysis (fermentation) mainly through the fermentation of sugars to generate a variety of organic acids such as lactic acid is one of the main one. Within the dense plaque acid can not be spread out, or not likely to be diluted in saliva and therefore they accumulate within the plaque. Acid on the teeth within the dental plaque is the role of calcium dissolved off the tooth surface, over time, decalcification of the tooth surface at the formation of depression.

More uneven tooth surface to form plaque, a pit deeper so, is that the formation of dental caries.

Caries progression is slow, generally does not endanger the lives of patients, easily overlooked. Dental caries lesions deep to the development, the pulp can cause Dental Reviews disease, periapical disease, inflammation of the bone collar and a series of complications, as well as serious impact on general health.

With the continuous dental hard tissue damage, defects can gradually cause the crown to become root, eventually to tooth loss, damage the integrity of chewing organs, affect the digestive function in childhood can affect growth and development of tooth collar system, so physical decline. So dental caries should be treated.

How treatment of dental caries?

The only treatment is to eliminate dental caries carious dentin after filling, which is usually referred to fillings, to prevent the development of dental caries, tooth shape and restore normal function. To stop the continued development of dental caries, the carious tissue must be cleaned of all, after finishing and disinfection process, select the appropriate dental filling material filling cavities, complete tooth decay treatment.
