Tooth decay or caries is a common disorder affecting majority of population around the world. Although common among children and young adults, it can affect our teeth at any age. Some of the most probable causes include: Mouth plaque. Cavity formation. Gingivitis and periodontitis. Tooth fracture or tooth abscess. Frequent unhealthy snacking.
Right brushing habits (brushing twice daily), and regular dental check-ups help avoid occurrence of dental caries. On follow up visits, the dentist looks for caries formation inside the mouth. He explores the tooth for possible cavities and pits, if any. Following are the means to diagnose the disease: X-ray of the full mouth Liquid dye or stain High tech lasers
treatments that help reverse tooth decay and prevent caries formation include: .. Silver fillings of molars and premolars The dentist drills the infected area of tooth and fills it with materials like silver, alloy, gold, porcelain, or composite resin. Porcelain and composite resin match natural tooth appearance, and are white in color. The filling is preferred for front teeth. But dentists consider gold, silver amalgam (alloy) as stronger and preferably use on back teeth. Crowning of infected teeth In cases of extensive tooth decay or damaged tooth structure which may weaken the teeth, crown or caps are applied. The crown is fitted over the remainder of the tooth, after removing the decayed area. Root canal treatment (making infected tooth dead) RCT or root canal treatment is recommended in cases where the nerve of the tooth dies due to decay or injury. The doctor drills from the center and removes the nerve including the blood vessels, and tissues (pulp), along with the decayed portions of the tooth. The root is sealed with a sealing material, and the tooth is filled and crowned.
