Teeth are a part of our body.They seems to be not significant,but,do you remember what can be more awfully than a tooth ache?Imagine that the tooth is a part of our bone.More adequate,it is the only part of our bone which is exposed.This is why the
enamel is so firm.But,the oral cavity is the only one where there is an ''''army'''' of bacillus and coccus.Even the enamel is ho hard,that ''''army'''' can destroy it.All they need are acids.So,all we need to do is to combat the acids.When the acids occur?Try to imagine that we are
eating sweets and a
pellicle is
deposited on the teeth.This seems to be nothing,teeth doesn''t react.But ,in this moment ,the enamel is in danger.Bacteria from the oral cavity can convert the sweets into lactic acid.This is the beginning of the destruction.Acid will
attack the enamel,by making it porous.This process is called demineralization.This is like an ''''opened door'''' for the bacteria.It will enter and will advance.Of course,there are no nerves in the enamel.At this moment,tooth is still calmy.Only its pressure receivers acquaint with brain.The brain receives that something is changed between the teeth.The tooth begin to be sensible to cold and sweets.When the tooth ''''understand'''' that something is attacking it,it is too late.The bacteria is deeply inside,in the dentine,where little channels are keeping nerves. This is why the oral hygiene is so important.If we are using fluoride toothpaste,we can get stronger teeth.Also we can control the bacteria of our mouth.We can use clorhexidine .But the most important is a healthy eating.Visiting the dentist(who are doing a surgical procedure) is also indicated.
