How does milk caries occur and what causes tooth decay?

In daily life, most people think that dental caries is due to eating too much sugar, but in fact, this is only a part of milk caries, and milk caries is very complicated.

Specifically, there are a large number of bacteria living in the mouth, some of which such as Streptococcus mutans, Actinomycetes, Lactobacillus, etc., have the ability to produce chemicals that are harmful to the teeth, the teeth are very hard, and the wear and tear of chewing food consumes it very little, but these chemicals can gradually decompose and destroy it in a short period of time. Therefore, cariogenic bacteria are essential for the formation of dental caries. The bacteria form a thin film on the surface of the tooth, which is medically called plaque, and the bacteria attack the teeth based on plaque.

Milk caries is due to the destruction of the hard tissue of the tooth is unable to regenerate, so it is very important to prevent tooth decay, the most effective way is to brush your teeth, you may say that you have brushed your teeth every day but still have tooth decay, in fact, brushing your teeth every day does not mean that you have mastered the correct brushing method.

1 There are many types of bacteria that can cause tooth decay, mainly certain streptococci and lactobacilli. Bacteria, mucin in saliva and food debris mix together and adhere firmly to the surface of the teeth, forming plaque. Due to the acid-producing action of bacteria, the surface of the enamel under the plaque is corroded by acid, and finally decalcified, dissolved, and finally formed a gauntlet and cavity, a cavity.

2. In many foods, sugary foods have close dry cleaning with the occurrence of caries, and foods containing sucrose can be used by bacteria to ferment to produce acidic substances, and the acids produced can also remain on the interface between plaque and tooth enamel for a long time, causing caries.

3. A large amount of saliva can wash the surface of the tooth and reduce the accumulation of bacteria and food residues, while a small amount of thick saliva is easy to be retained, which promotes the formation of plaque on the tooth surface and provides the basic conditions for the formation of dental caries.

4. The occurrence of tooth decay is related to the quality of the tooth itself, and the tooth's anti-caries ability (acid resistance and antibacterial slag attachment ability) is also strong for good teeth.

Hello! Can baby teeth also become caries? The answer is yes.

Babies drink milk a lot, and they like to eat sweets, and most of them have not developed a good brushing habit, so baby teeth are easy to decay. However, many parents do not pay attention to the baby's "baby tooth decay", thinking that it will be fine when the permanent teeth are replaced, but in fact, it is not.

The doctor reminds parents that it is of great significance to protect the baby's baby teeth. Because if the baby teeth decay, and then cause pulpitis or periodontitis, it will affect the eruption of permanent teeth in the future, resulting in permanent teeth that are not firm and easy to be damaged after eruption.

If baby teeth fall out too early or too late, the permanent teeth will grow out of position or not come out, making the teeth misaligned and biting, affecting the chewing of food or the aesthetics of the teeth.

Tooth decay, also known as rotten teeth, insect teeth, and tooth decay, is a disease of tooth hard tissue destruction caused by a combination of various factors, mainly bacterial infection. If it is convenient, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for further examination, and after a detailed examination of the child's condition, it will be handled in a standardized manner. Another thing to note is:

In addition to the need to go to the hospital to standardize**, you need to pay attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth after meals, and reduce the consumption of sweet foods.

The specific steps are very simple, first grind out your carious tissue, then slightly enlarge the tooth cavity to ensure that the implant can be fixed on the tooth, and then fill the conventional light-curing resin material for restoration, then light-cure, and finally polish and cut the filling, so that it is completed.

Hope you get a good morning!
