How tooth decalcification is formed and how to remedy it requires a practical answer

Lactobacilli in the mouth can cause sugar to be digested to produce acid, resulting in decalcification of enamel. This phenomenon is also known as tooth decay.

At present, the accepted theory of caries** is the theory of four factors, which mainly includes bacteria, oral environment, host (i.e., parasites including parasites, viruses, etc.) and time.

The basic point is that cariogenic food sugar is tightly attached to the tooth surface, and the acquired membrane formed by saliva protein is not only firmly attached to the tooth surface by the anatomical structure and biochemical and biophysical characteristics of the tooth surface, but also has enough time to produce acid in the deep layer of plaque at a suitable temperature, invade the tooth, demineralize, and then destroy the organic matter and produce caries.

**Method: 1. Drug**.

Drug** is a method of applying drugs to inhibit the development of caries on the basis of grinding caries, and is suitable for shallow caries of permanent teeth that have not yet formed holes, and shallow and middle cavities of deciduous anterior teeth. Commonly used drugs include silver ammonianoate and sodium fluoride.

2. Amalgam filling.

For teeth that have formed substantial defects, filling is the most widely used and effective method at present, and its basic process can be divided into two steps: first remove the decayed tissue and the weak tooth tissue that has lost support, and make the cavity into a reasonable shape according to certain requirements. It is then filled with a filling material to restore its intrinsic form and function.

It is suitable for filling the anterior cavities of the back teeth and hidden areas.

3. Composite resin filling.

It is suitable for filling anterior teeth and posterior tooth cavities that do not bear the chewing force, and the filling points are: preparing a certain hole shape; Cavities above moderate need to be used as a base; The mixing utensils should be clean and dry. Use a non-metallic mixing knife, pay attention to the ratio of components, and fully mix evenly; When filling, it is moisture-proof to avoid air bubbles, and it is advisable to press the material with polyester film or cellophane, and finally repair and polish.

There are a lot of bacteria on the surface of your teeth, and the bacteria use sugar to produce acids that break down your teeth and cause decalcification, so to remedy, either kill the bacteria or don't eat sugar.

However, these two things are difficult to achieve, so all we can do is to minimize bacteria on the surface of our teeth and eat as little sugar as possible.

Therefore, pay attention to eating less sugar, reduce the frequency of eating sugar, and drink less carbonated drinks. Brush your teeth carefully, especially before going to bed, so that you can brush away the bacteria on the surface of your teeth.

For a small amount of decalcified teeth, paying attention to the above points can restore health. But if tooth decay has already formed, it is necessary to go for a filling.

Carbonated drinks, fruit juices, yogurt, etc.

Take some vitamin D and see if it helps.

Tooth calcification:

Indeed, the tissues of all parts of the tooth are highly calcified substances, and the enamel on the surface of the tooth contains 96% inorganic salts, of which 90% is calcium phosphate, so calcium is an important element in the development of teeth. If sufficient calcium is obtained during the calcification stage of the teeth, it is beneficial for the development of the teeth.

However, once the tooth erupts, the calcification has already been completed, and taking calcium tablets will not make the tooth better. Teeth are the organs that people rely on for food, and they will be further calcified by external influences, but to a very limited extent. The calcified body of the tooth cannot be reconstructed by the metabolism after eruption.

In order to make children's teeth develop well, they should pay attention to diet, nutrition and oral hygiene during the development stage of teeth, strengthen exercise, spend more time in the sun, and get more contact with air and water in nature to enhance their physical fitness. Do not use tetracyclines in infancy and early childhood. At the same time, we should also do a good job in the health care of infants and young children, especially from birth to 1 year old, prone to nutritional disorders and infectious diseases, and also prone to rickets, resulting in poor tooth development.
