What does tooth decay look like, what does a tooth decay insect look like

First, let's understand what tooth decay is. Tooth decay, sometimes called worm tooth, is the scientific name of tooth decay. The main cause of its formation is plaque.

Plaque is an almost colorless film on the surface of your teeth that contains bacteria that cause tooth decay. After each meal, these bacteria in the plaque will chemically react with the sugars or starches in the food to produce acids that corrode the teeth. Over time, the enamel of the tooth will be destroyed, forming small and fragile plaques, which will form cavities if they continue to deteriorate.

So, tooth decay develops from small cavities, not really with cavities or any other bugs, but as a result of the teeth being gradually corroded. Tooth decay, in severe cases, can lead to necrosis and loss of teeth.

Tooth decay is generally black with a hole and looks unsuitable.

If there is tooth decay in the teeth, it is mainly caused by bacteria, and in severe cases, it can cause osteitis of the jaw, or the alveolar bone is swollen and painful, and you cannot eat. It is necessary to be timely**, otherwise it is easy to become a wormhole, and in serious cases, the crown inside the tooth will disappear completely. Tooth decay is mainly due to the oral environment host, parasitic virus, plus eating some sugary food, close to the tooth surface after the formation of this situation, you can go to the hospital in time to clean the teeth, and at the same time, the hole should be filled in time.

The inside of the tooth is not a worm, but a cariogenic bacterium that adheres tightly to the tooth surface and is formed by salivary proteins. This acquired membrane not only adheres firmly to the tooth surface, but also has enough time to produce acid in the deep layers of plaque at the right temperature, invade the tooth, demineralize it, and then destroy the organic matter and produce cavities.

Worm teeth can be secondary to pulpitis and apical periodontitis, and can even cause inflammation of the alveolar bone and jaw. If left unchecked, the lesion will continue to develop, forming cavities, and eventually the crown will disappear completely.

Hello, this tooth decay is not a worm in the mouth, there are no toothworms in the real mouth, often in some science films or cartoons, caries and worms are linked. When educating their children, many parents also say that small insects crawl on their teeth and bite them off, but they are not. In fact, it is the bacteria in the oral cavity, these bacteria are attached to the tooth surface, and the bacteria use food residues to produce acidic substances, these acidic substances will cause the calcium ions in the tooth enamel to be separated, and the skeleton of the remaining tooth enamel will become soft and collapsed, and then slowly corroded by bacteria, turning into putrefactive and necrotic tissue.

This shows black, depressed tissue in the decayed part of the tooth surface. The decay is getting bigger and bigger and becomes a real hole, and it has nothing to do with bugs.

Tooth decay is not really a worm, but a kind of bacteria, so you must pay attention to oral hygiene.

Not bugs. Tooth decay, sometimes called tooth decay, is a bacterial obscuration disease, so it can be secondary to pulpitis and apical periodontitis, and even cause inflammation of the alveolar bone and jaw. If left untreated, the lesion will continue to develop, forming cavities, and eventually the crown will disappear after complete destruction.

Dental caries is a progressive lesion of the hard tissue of the tooth caused by a combination of factors in the oral cavity, which is manifested by the demineralization of inorganic matter and the decomposition of organic matter. It is characterized by a high incidence and wide distribution.

Well, tooth decay is generally black, and it is recommended to go to the hospital to deal with it as soon as possible, because it will be more painful if it is not treated in time. Let's see if you can keep it, just keep it, if you can't keep it, do a root canal**, otherwise you will eat a lot and cry.

According to the survey, the prevalence of diseases in children that continues to be high is eye disease, myopia, and tooth decay. Tooth decay is one of the top 5 health threats to modern young children. The official scientific name of tooth decay is "dental caries", which is widely distributed all over the world, but it is uneven, and developed countries such as the United States, Canada, and Northern Europe are relatively excellent, and the rate of tooth decay is decreasing; China, Mexico, Chile and Thailand are among the "countries with a high incidence of tooth decay", which shows that China's work and tasks are still quite arduous in preventing tooth decay.

In fact, there are no insects in the tooth, but because the food is not brushed and rinsed in time after chewing food, the food residue is fermented and acid-producing under the action of bacteria, eroding the tooth to decalcify and soften the tooth, and then slowly form a cavity. According to statistics, the prevalence of caries in primary teeth and permanent teeth in children in China is 80% to 90%, and the prevalence of permanent teeth is 40%.

Tooth decay is a dental disease, and its sequence is black spots, small holes, large holes, and destroyed teeth, and tooth decay needs to be filled in time.

The scientific name for tooth decay in medicine is caries, which is actually a bacterial disease. Tooth decay is more common in adolescents because their teeth are less resistant and they do not pay attention to oral hygiene, so tooth decay is more common. Although teeth contain enamel, as the teeth are eroded, they will gradually blacken, slowly leading to loss or necrosis, so it is necessary to pay more attention to brushing your teeth in daily life and maintain oral hygiene. Consultation.

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.
