Many people have the trouble of tooth decay, is tooth decay really bugs in the teeth?

Tooth decay does not mean that there are toothworms in the teeth, tooth decay refers to the erosion of the teeth by bacteria, and the bacteria multiply in the oral cavity to produce toxic substances that continue to erode the tooth surface, causing the teeth to be continuously damaged from the outside to the inside.

It's not that there are really bugs, but because some microorganisms have caused problems with the teeth, so that the teeth become damaged, and there are cavities, and there are not really bugs in them.

Tooth decay is not that there are actually worms in the teeth, but that there will be a black hole on the tooth, and there will be bacteria and food residues everywhere.

No, tooth decay is not cleaned due to food residues, resulting in the teeth slowly eroding away, forming an effect similar to that of insect decay.

Tooth decay is also known as tooth decay, and tooth decay does not mean that there are bugs eating the teeth in the teeth, but because there are bacteria. The reason is usually that the hard tissue of the tooth is gradually eroded, and usually, it will start from the crown of the tooth and needs to be timely**. Otherwise, tooth decay can deepen and potentially cause complete tooth erosion, severely damaging the tooth nerves and causing toothache and other symptoms.

If you don't have tooth decay, don't think you'll do it yourself. Dental caries is a bacterial disease, and severe jaw inflammation can occur. The main factors that contribute to tooth decay include:

Bacteria, diet, saliva, any one of these factors will not cause tooth decay, and doctors believe that saliva is an important factor affecting tooth decay.

Bacteria, bacteria play a leading role in the formation of tooth decay, and there are many types of bacteria that cause mites. The main ones are streptococcus and lactobacillus, which mix with saliva and food debris and accumulate on the surface of the teeth. There is plaque in the tooth pit, and the bacteria in the plaque produce acid, which can also corrode our teeth.

Diet. The influence of dietary habits is crucial in the process of tooth decay. Carbohydrates and sugars provide nutrients and energy to bacteria, enhance the metabolism of bacteria, produce large amounts of organic acids, and decalcify and dissolve the enamel surface of the tooth surface, and the main carbohydrate is sucrose.

Tooth. The shape, position, and structure of teeth are closely related to tooth decay. If the alignment of the teeth leaves a passage that tends to accumulate food debris, the debris will accumulate there and will not be easily removed, and tooth decay is likely to form.

The hardness of tooth enamel and dentin is not good, the resistance to phlegm is poor, and it is easy to decay teeth, and fluoride plays an important role in enhancing the resistance of teeth. Therefore, some people will supplement the amount of fluoride in their teeth to prevent tooth decay, but fluoride is harmful to humans.

How exactly do tooth decay form? Is there really a bug in the mouth that eats teeth? The culprit turned out to be it!

Tooth decay is caused by eating sugar or unhygienic teeth.

Most of the causes of tooth decay are caused by not paying attention to oral hygiene, and there are not necessarily small bugs eating teeth.

It's not the teeth that have worms, it's the bacteria in the mouth, which produce acids that corrode the teeth.

Tooth decay is actually a bacterial infection, we usually eat less sugar, and we have to rinse our mouth and brush our teeth after eating.

Tooth decay is just a medical term, not really a bug, it is mainly caused by bacteria in the mouth.

Most tooth decay is caused by our sweet tooth or not brushing our teeth.

Tooth decay can be the cause of eating too much sugar, so it is advisable to eat more vegetables.

In fact, it can't be said to be a worm, the situation you are talking about should be caries! Caries is a disease with a long history, and the ancient Chinese and the Assyrians and Babylonians all believed that tooth decay was caused by insect erosion, which was limited to the conditions of the time. From the 2nd century B.C. to the modern era, there are many theories about dental caries, including the theory of chemical bacteria, the theory of proteolysis, the theory of protein decomposition-chelation, the theory of glycogen, and the theory of quadruple factors.

At present, it is generally accepted that most of them are tetra-factor theory. It points out that the onset of dental caries is related to four factors: bacteria, food, host and time, that is, the occurrence of dental caries requires a sensitive host, oral cariogenic flora, and suitable substrates, which in turn must exist for a sufficient period of time. First of all, the presence of bacteria is the main condition for the occurrence of caries.

Plaque is an important environment for bacteria to produce caries on the tooth surface. Good oral hygiene is also a condition for the occurrence of caries, and good oral hygiene keeps plaque formation under control, thus controlling the occurrence of caries. The second is food.

Eating coarse food has a certain self-cleaning and anti-caries effect, and eating coarse food is not easy to produce richer plaque and accumulate more acid, so it is not easy to form caries conditions. The content of sucrose in refined food is more coarse than that of coarse food, and the sugar enters the plaque, and the cariogenic bacteria in the plaque ferment the sugar to form various acids, which stay on the tooth surface for a longer time, dissolving and destroying the hard tissues of the teeth and producing caries. Eating sugar is even more harmful during tooth development, between meals, and before bedtime.

The third is the host. Host refers to the degree of susceptibility to caries, and the host's susceptibility to caries involves many factors, such as the flow rate, flow, composition, morphology and structure of the teeth, and the general condition of the body. Tooth alignment, crowding, overlapping areas are susceptible to caries.

Saliva has the effect of cleaning teeth, and some components of saliva can inhibit tooth decay and periodontal disease. Others, such as genetics, nutrition, minerals, and endocrine, have certain effects on the host's resistance to caries. Fourth, time.

The occurrence and progression of caries is a rather slow process, and the time it takes for carinations to remain on the tooth surface, the time it takes for teeth to erupt, and the time it takes for plaque to form to become cariogenic are all important factors affecting the onset of caries. Therefore, the tetralogy of factors attributes the combined action of bacteria, hosts, food, and time to the basis and root cause of the occurrence of caries.

Tooth decay is tooth decay, tooth worm is a bacterium, it can ferment the food residue between the teeth, destroy the teeth, and the teeth are corroded by bacteria and become tooth decay.

Tooth decay is caused by the erosion of the enamel and dentin on the surface of the teeth by an acidic environment and bacteria. The following are the main causes of tooth decay:

Bacterial infections: The presence of bacteria in the mouth, especially a bacterium called Streptococcus mutans. These bacteria convert the sugar in food into acids, and the acidic environment can erode the surface of the teeth.

Acidic foods and drinks: Foods and drinks that are high in sugar or acidity in the diet, such as sweets, carbonated drinks, fruit juices, etc., can increase the acidity in the mouth, promote the growth of bacteria and tooth erosion.

Poor oral hygiene: Incorrect oral hygiene habits, such as not brushing your teeth in a timely manner, not cleaning your teeth thoroughly, not flossing, etc., can lead to plaque buildup and tartar formation, providing an environment for bacteria to grow.

Weak tooth enamel: Some people are born with thin or defective tooth enamel, which makes teeth more susceptible to bacteria and acids.

Dry mouth: Dry mouth reduces the production of saliva, which has a protective effect on teeth, and a lack of saliva increases the risk of tooth decay.

Genetic factors: Genetics may also affect the ability of teeth to resist acid and corrosion.

The best way to prevent tooth decay is to practice good oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, regular cleaning, and limiting sugar and acidic foods. Regular visits to the dentist for check-ups and cleanings, as well as dental specialties such as hardening of tooth enamel** and tooth sealing, can also help prevent tooth decay. Thank you.

People who come to the dental department often complain that the "worm teeth" in their mouths hurt. Yang Shiying, the Song Dynasty of China, has pointed out: "Teeth are flooded by rancid gas, and worms will grow over time, and the teeth will be corroded into holes."

So, can it be said that teeth are really bitten by "bugs"? It should be believed that the damage to the teeth is not caused by "bugs", but by other factors. Human understanding of dental caries has only improved with the development of science and technology.

Foreign scholars first pointed out in 1819 that caries is a chemical disease caused by the fermentation of food to produce acid, and this theory was later confirmed. In 1847, another foreign scholar took materials from the tooth cavity, observed filamentous microorganisms, and put forward a new theory of tooth decay, that is, bacteriology.

He believes that these filaments (bacteria) first destroy the tooth enamel and later the dentin, so it can be assumed that the tooth is not bitten by insects, but because the bacteria (filaments) attach to the tooth surface, forming plaque, decalcifying the enamel and dentin, and gradually forming cavities.

Foreign scholars use oral bacteria to make caries lesions on animal teeth, and it has been confirmed that oral bacteria can cause tooth decay. From this point of view, China's folk statement about "worm teeth" is incorrect, or it lacks scientific basis. With the rapid development of science and technology, people's ability to understand various problems has been continuously improved, and the traditional "worm tooth" theory will certainly be corrected.

If the various propaganda tools are correctly guided, the incorrect theory of "worm teeth" will be quickly corrected.

There can be bugs in your teeth, and I'm not a dentist, but I can tell you for sure. When I was a child, I had a very bad toothache, and then this tooth fell out, and I actually pulled out a worm in the rotten pulp cavity! This insect is about 1 cm long, purple-red all over the body, and has soft black hairs all over the body, this insect I have found in peaches.

The rest of my caries-affected baby teeth did not show any worms when they fell out. The one with the tooth has a tooth, and I guess the tooth with tooth decay got eggs when eating fruit, and the eggs developed into worms in the tooth decay.

It is rare to have worms in the tooth, and it is not easy to remove them. I have seen Jianghu** take out 7 worms from the toothache mouth in just a few minutes with tweezers, and these seven worms are only seven maggots if you look closely, and Wude** gets the maggots into the patient's mouth, and then takes them out to ask for money.
