Caries is the most common dental disease. Often it leads to a deep destruction of tooth tissues, the development of pulpitis, periodontitis. Therefore, only timely treatment will help avoid the problems described above.
Most often, caries is a consequence of poor oral hygiene. The fact is that in the human mouth there are many microorganisms that secrete organic acids. The latter, in turn, destroy the enamel. The result is caries.
The development of harmful bacteria contributes to the excessive consumption of foods saturated with sucrose. Therefore, because of the diet with a predominance of sweets, childhood caries most often occurs. Dental treatment is a rather unpleasant procedure (especially for a child), therefore it is best to eliminate the causes of caries in advance. Namely, to monitor compliance with oral hygiene and not to give children a lot of products containing sucrose.
Modern dentistry can treat tooth decay using several methods that apply to both adults and children. These are dental fillings, ozone and laser treatments. But, despite the existence of the above methods, many people want to treat caries at home, trying with all their might to delay a visit to the dentist. However, folk remedies to get rid of this disease simply do not exist. Therefore, it is better not to self-medicate, but to visit dentistry, where caries will be treated by a qualified specialist in the shortest possible time.
Tooth filling
Almost always, the treatment of caries is not complete without dental fillings. Filling allows you to return the tooth attractive appearance and basic functions for the shortest possible time.
For dental fillings , composite materials are used that harden very quickly. Therefore, the treatment of caries in a modern dental clinic is carried out in one day.
Ozone treatment
Treatment of caries with ozone is recognized as the most painless. This technique was developed in Germany. With ozone treatment, there is no need to use anesthesia. Also, drilling of dental tissue and installation of fillings is not required.
A special apparatus is used to treat caries with ozone. His job is to convert oxygen to ozone. Next, the ozone produced is filled into a small cap, which is fixed on a diseased tooth.
Ozone deeply penetrates the tooth tissue, while destroying pathogenic bacteria. The dentist treats the cavity with a special strengthening substance. After this, the patient goes home and forgets about tooth decay.
Laser treatment
Caries can also be cured by laser radiation. This procedure is completely painless and does not damage the tooth enamel. The advantages of laser treatment can also include selective beam direction.
After laser treatment, the patient disappears the main signs of caries - increased sensitivity of dental tissues and their demineralization.
By the way, lasers can not only cure tooth decay, but also diagnose it. There are two advantages to lasers over x-rays - the speed of use and the absence of harmful radiation.
