Dental Caries

    Caries is the collective name for tooth decay in the enamel (substance in the crown of the teeth), cementum (substance in the roots of teeth), and dentine (the substance in the middle between the crown and roots). Teeth can decay due to certain bacteria that produce lactic acid from the fermentation of carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose.

    Teeth mainly consist of minerals that are constantly undergoing a process of demineralization and remineralization. Demineralization occurs because the use of the teeth, especially because eating foods that contain acid. Remineralization of the teeth occurs with the aid of saliva, fluoride toothpaste, and mouthwash. When the pH at the surface of the tooth drops below 5.5 because the lactic acid produced by bacteria, demineralization faster than remineralization so that the teeth "overdrawn" minerals. This can lead to
    cavities.

    Cavities should be treated by dentists in order not to develop into severe and should be repealed, or even cause dangerous infections. Your dentist will drill a hole to clean up the damage and then patch the tooth with an implant.

    Loose teeth

    Loose teeth can be very painful when chewing food. The cause of loose teeth is usually a disease of the gums (gingivitis, periodontitis), although it can also be caused by an accident or collision. To cope with a loose tooth, the dentist must remove the gum disease with tooth cleaning (scaling) and treatment. Teeth are a little shake can still be strengthened with the tether to the nearby teeth. Teeth that are rocking in any direction should be revoked.

    Erosion of the gums

    Gums are experiencing erosion will expose the roots so that it becomes sensitive to the food / beverage hot, cold and acid. Erosion of the gums can be caused by brushing too hard or because of gum disease.

    Gradual erosion of gum lasts a long time so it is more common in those aged over 40 years. Sufferers do not notice or take seriously until it becomes a problem. When the cause of erosion is too hard to brush your teeth, you need to replace the brush with a more refined and reduced pressure.

    Erosion can only be corrected with gum grafts gum, a plastic surgery procedure that can only be done by a specialist dentist.

    Tooth root canal infection

    The infected root canal can be very painful with pain that spreads to other areas in the face and skull. The body defend itself from infection causing inflammation. It sometimes happens abscess (pus) in the roots of teeth that can be settled in the patient's jawbone for many years and continually spread the bacteria into the bloodstream of patients.

    Tooth root canal infection can make a dead tooth so it must be revoked. Maintaining a dead tooth is not an option. The use of herbs, vitamins, or even prescription antibiotics usually do not solve problems without being followed when cleaning extraction and root canal teeth and surrounding tissues.
