Features of the disease

The development of putrefactive processes in the cavity of the tooth is characterized by the appearance of caries. In the course of the disease, demineralization of the enamel takes place, which leads to its destruction. The reason for this is the pathological growth of bacterial microflora, which is natural for the oral cavity. Cariesogenic microorganisms eat the remains of food contained in the mouth. The activity of these bacteria depends on many factors.

Factors provoking the growth of pathogenic microflora:

• non-compliance with oral hygiene;
• Sweet abuse;
• malnutrition.

Also affect the possibility of caries, the following reasons:

• metabolic disease;
• diseases of the endocrine system;
• weakening of immunity due to previous illnesses.

Due to unsatisfactory hygiene of the oral cavity, soft plaque is formed - a favorable environment for the reproduction of bacteria. Quite quickly, this plaque turns into a hard tartar, which at home can not be removed. For this, special procedures are used, offered by dental clinics. Such tartar is a source of permanent destructive effects of cariogenic bacteria.

Treatment of caries

The ability to cure and prevent the further development of this disease is possible only at an early stage, when the dentin is not yet damaged. In this case, there is still a chance to avoid the spread of caries and keep the tooth healthy.

• drill cavity cavity, sealing;
• tooth extraction in neglected cases, as a rule, when its extensive destruction occurs, which can not be restored.

Remineralization - restoration of enamel and mineral level in its composition, is undertaken at an early stage of caries formation. It is a small pigmented whitish spot, similar to plaque. In this case, it is still possible to get rid of caries. Most often a special gel is prescribed, which is applied both in the dental clinic and in the home. The gel is treated directly to the damage site.

In more neglected cases, treatment can take place in several stages, especially if you need to drill a tooth and seal it.
