tooth decay =========================== A cavity is a small hole in your tooth that occurs when the tooth's hard outer layer, the enamel, is damaged....Although you may not notice the decay at first, it can eventually cause pain....In more serious cases, a cavity can lead to a type of dentistry called root canal treatment. Caries are a common dental problem....in fact, about 91% of people over the age of 20 have experienced cavities....but they can often be prevented with good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups. **cause of tooth decay** Teeth are covered with a relatively thick layer of enamel, which is a protective coating....Enamel is made up mostly of minerals, including calcium, which forms hard crystals to protect the veins and nerves of the tooth....Since enamel is not alive, it is unable to repair itself. This is problematic, because tooth enamel is constantly being attacked by various factors....Your mouth is full of bacteria that are always creating unpleasant substances and sticky membranes on your teeth....When you eat sugary foods, these bacteria produce acid that can damage your tooth enamel....over time, this damage can lead to cavities. ### **Symptoms and diagnosis method** Diagnosis is difficult at first because you won't see any symptoms while it's forming....that's why regular dental checkups every six months are important....During these checkups, dentists can check for early decay by looking at the teeth, touching them, and using x-rays. Sometimes the decay grows deep in the tooth, it can reach the sensitive veins and nerves of the tooth.. This is when you may experience symptoms. #### **Symptoms** - toothache - Pain when chewing - Teeth sensitivity to temperature, including severe pain when eating cold or hot foods or drinks - Tooth discoloration, or visible hole ##### **What people get tooth decay?** Almost everyone will experience tooth decay at some point in their life. However, the people most at risk for tooth decay are the very young or those over 50. Babies and young children who use bottles with pacifiers are also at risk of tooth decay because their teeth are exposed to carbohydrates and sugar for a long time. On the other hand, the elderly are also at risk because their gums are often receding and receding. With gum disease, the root of the tooth, which is not covered by enamel, but has softer material on it, protrudes....this can cause easy decay....this is often the cause of tooth decay in the elderly. In addition to these groups, there are other risk factors that can increase the likelihood of caries. ###### **recommendations** It may be embarrassing if you have a cavity, but remember that cavities are very common and nothing to be ashamed of....The normal functioning of the mouth means that most of us get cavities from time to time. Recognizing caries quickly can help you prevent pain and facilitate treatment.... Visit the dentist every six months, even if you have fear and anxiety about dentistry, these visits can also help you in this area... Since oral and dental health has a lot to do with the general health of the body, dental care is an important part of self-care. **Click to reserve an appointment online!!!**
