Just like any other part of our body, teeth are exposed to bacteria on a daily basis, which erode enamel and cause dental problems and diseases. In order to prevent disease, it is important to perform regular preventive care and to know what the first signs of a dental disorder are.
We suggest recognizing the most common dental diseases.
Cavities
I don't think there is a person who has never heard of tooth decay or experienced its detrimental effects on teeth. The first signs of tooth decay — is a change in the natural color of the tooth, the appearance of dark spots.. This is the initial process and it is imperceptible and painless. Many people do not pay much attention to these changes and miss the opportunity to avoid cavities.
Another symptom of tooth decay is tooth sensitivity to hot or cold. This is due to the thinning of the enamel. The irritant, in our case hot or cold, comes into contact with the nerve endings and causes pain.
Cavities are caused by bacteria in the oral cavity. If plaque, which is formed daily, is not carefully removed, it leads to their multiplication and as a consequence, tooth decay. If you do not protect your teeth from the destruction of enamel, the decay penetrates further into the tooth and causes more serious complications.
Flux
A simple name for an inflammatory process in the deep tissues of the tooth. The cause is a neglected form of dental caries. This disease causes inflammation of the surrounding tissues (cheek) and severe pain. This is a sign that the infection has penetrated deeply and the inflammatory process has already begun. In such a case, see a doctor immediately. This disease cannot be treated at home.
Tooth cyst
The cyst is very insidious, since for a long time can not bother a person, but when an inflammatory process appears, then the already known flux occurs. Regular dental visit will help identify the cyst in its early stages, making it easier to treat.
Tooth calculus
It occurs when plaque is removed incorrectly, which hardens after a few days, turns into brown plaque and becomes impossible to remove on your own. To avoid this, do not be lazy and perform oral hygiene in good faith.
It makes no sense to list all the existing diseases, but it is important to know the signs of these diseases. The occurrence of dental diseases depends not only on poor oral hygiene, but also on the condition of the entire body.
Our body is a single organism that works together and if one organ suffers, it affects the others. Take care of your health and consult a doctor in time.
