All The Dangers Of A Cavity

Seemingly harmless cavity can turn out to be a real nigh mare. Thanks to negligence, it will become a granuloma, spreading diseases.

For us laymen, a cavity is something rotten on our teeth, it bugs us and drives us crazy, while dentists state that a cavity is a chronic illness of our beloved teeth.

The daddy of bad cavity is Streptococcus mutans, an organism which is responsible for deterioration of teeth, along with other organisms. Other factors that are important in the process of creating cavities are time, the environment of the teeth or their surface. The teeth are vulnerable if hereditary features are thrown in the mix, along with washing habits or their separation.

Unbalanced diet usually does not help the teeth, which mostly consists of sweets and sodas with sugar. Problems occur if teeth disable self-cleansing with saliva and tongue due to their position and shape.

Dentorium centre informs us that cavities usually occur in puberty when, experts claim, a hormonal misbalance takes place, as well as changes in the organism.

Also, the saliva`s Ph factor is lower in puberty, creating a suitable surface for the famous black sports finding a home. Dentists claim examinations should be conducted frequently and cavities removed.

Plaque sugar turns to acid

The whole cavity story begins with dentobacterial plaque. Plaque is formed through several different stages, however, the important thing is to know that this white layer is actually a bunch of bacterium which draw sugar from our groceries as their food.

Sugar turns plaque to acid, which then corrodes the enamel and weakens it until it penetrates to the centre of the tooth, i.e. the pulp. This is when the pain in spontaneous.

When this happens, you should see a dentist if you already had not. Otherwise, soft residue will remain inside the tooth, the number of the bacterium will go up and the inflammation will soon encompass the tip of the root. Then, you will be a proud owner of a granuloma, i.e. a pus mass which will make you happy by being sore to the touch.

Granuloma causes sepsis, diseases of the heart, ovaries, kidneys…

However, this is not the only trap of a granumoma. Bacterium are released from a granuloma, which travel through the organism in the bloodstream. Toxins cause diseases of the heart, ovaries, eyes, lungs, kidneys, nerves or wrists, experts of the Dentorium centre claim.

The pus needs to be removed immediately, while dentists will also recommend antibiotics. Medicine and special treatments must be obeyed, because if the bag reaches the blood in large amounts, it causes many pus abscesses.

It is not recommended you take out a tooth which has a granuloma, because this is the easiest, but not the best way of dealing with it. It is also important to know that there are other ways of creating granuloma, not just through cavities, but also unprofessional dental work during filling a tooth or a blow to the tooth can cause granuloma.

Even though we cannot forsake cavities forever, we can try to prevent them.

It is important to reduce the consumption of sweets, snacks, sticky candy and sodas with sugar.

Intake of meat, fish, milk and diary products is favourable for the teeth. Don`t forget about fresh fruit and vegetables, food abundant in vitamins and minerals. To put it shot, instead of sweets, eat an apple, instead of Coca-Cola, have some yoghurt.
