I hope everyone is well. Today I have come to you with another article. Today I will tell you why cavities occur in teeth? What to do if you have cavities. Our most valuable asset is our teeth. Nowadays, tooth decay and cavities have become a common problem.
This problem is usually seen more in children, teenagers and adults. Tooth decay occurs due to bacterial infection. Frequent consumption of snacks and drinks, food stuck between the teeth for a long time, insufficient fluoride, dry mouth, not following oral hygiene rules, nutritional deficiency and loss of appetite, etc. cause cavities and tooth decay.
There can be cavities in the teeth for various reasons. For example, cavities can occur due to tooth decay or dental caries, broken teeth, or root canal treatment. When there is a cavity in the tooth, dirt, food particles, etc. accumulate in it and infection occurs. It causes toothache and a tingling sensation. When children have this cavity, they suffer from pain and their teeth become tingling whenever they eat something.
Dental caries initially looks like a very small black hole. Even though these black holes are formed in the teeth, there is no pain. Therefore, children and adults do not know that a hole is forming. It is only detected after complications develop in these holes. Moreover, in most cases, the patient can understand it when the teeth are broken.
Even if the patient does not wear a porcelain crown during root canal treatment, the hole in the tooth will grow. Later, the root canal and all the internal materials will come out.
What to do if you have a cavity in your tooth - As soon as you notice the symptoms of a cavity in your tooth, you should fill the empty space without delay. Because, if dental caries gradually goes deeper from the dentin, i.e. to the pulp chamber, then the intensity of the pain increases. The treatment process also becomes complicated.
Broken teeth can now be beautifully filled with filling material or light cure, which looks exactly like the natural color. It is not necessary to delay placing a crown on a root canal treated tooth.
