The most common disease of the XXI century is directly related to the teeth. According to statistics, the majority of the world's population, about 95%, develop tooth decay.
You might be surprised to learn that in previous historical epochs, despite the much lower level of development of medicine and hygiene, people were relatively less prone to tooth decay. Everything changed in the 18th century when people learned to get refined sugar from beets. Along with the "sugar rush", a real epidemic of tooth decay appeared, which continues to this day.
Tooth decay is a pathological process that develops after tooth extraction. During tooth decay, the hard tissues of the tooth are demineralized and a cavity is formed. There are a large number of microorganisms in the human oral cavity that multiply very quickly. Tooth decay is caused by microorganisms on the hard tissues of the tooth. Bacteria live in the oral cavity - streptococci, lactobacilli and actinomycetes. As a rule, they are "inherited" from birth and it is impossible to get rid of them. Within hours of brushing your teeth, the number of bacteria can increase to a million. Streptococci process carbohydrates that are obtained from food and they release acids that damage teeth. This process is especially affected by sucrose, which is contained in refined sugar and, consequently, any product containing sugar. Any tooth decay starts with the creation of favorable conditions for the multiplication of bacteria in the mouth.
There are different stages of tooth decay: First stage is the earliest stage of tooth decay development that is easy to treat. Tooth enamel becomes soft in some parts and a pigmented spot appears on it. During the first stage, the content of calcium, phosphorus, fluorine and other trace elements in the tooth enamel decreases. During the superficial caries stage, destructive processes take place only in the enamel. In the case of secondary caries, the tooth damage is relatively deep, though not touching the root. In deep caries, a very thin layer of healthy tooth tissue is left at the root.
Caries prevention plays an important role in maintaining dental health. Prophylaxis involves the removal of caries-causing factors and increases the stability of tooth tissue.
