Tooth from pinhole to extraction, every step is startling!

Our name is Liulingya , we are quadruplets.

It is the first permanent tooth born around the age of six

We have many fissures and fissures on the occlusal surface of our newly grown teeth, and it is easy for food to stay.

Master, please make sure to put on a nice protective coat for us

(Dentists call it " pit and fissure closure ")

We don't like sweets and snacks disturb our good life

Dear master, if you don't protect us well

We're going to be destroyed step by step

The first step: shallow caries

When we have little black spots , you don't care and say, "It's okay, I don't feel it."

dentist said : "Caries is a disease caused by the chronic and progressive destruction of the hard tissue of the teeth caused by multi-factors, mainly bacteria . Shallow caries, ie enamel caries, has already begun, which requires drug treatment or filling treatment .

Step 2: Medium caries

When you eat candy, you feel sore and you say, "It's okay, it's not sore."

dentist said : "At this time, the lesions have been destroyed to the superficial layer of dentin, and the teeth have already formed cavities. They are sensitive to sweet and sour foods and need filling treatment."

The third step: deep caries

When you are eating and you cannot bite the food , you say, "It's okay, you can bite with the other tooth."

dentist warned : "The lesions have been destroyed to the deep dentin, and the teeth have deep cavities. Temperature stimulation , chemical stimulation and food entering the cavities all cause pain. At this time, if filling treatment is done in time, it is still too late to save the pulp. "

Step 4: Acute pulpitis

When you didn't sleep last night and your teeth were hurting against the wall, you forced yourself to say, "Take a painkiller, and be patient."

dentist advises you : "When the lesion invades the pulp tissue and produces inflammatory exudate, it forms high pressure in the pulp cavity and causes severe pain. At this time, pulp opening and drainage is the most effective way to relieve the pain of acute pulpitis."

Step 5: Acute apical periodontitis

When your face is so swollen that you can't open your eyes , you hold your eyes and say, "It's no big deal, just take anti-inflammatory drugs."

dentist said anxiously : "Acute periapical periodontitis infection of teeth may cause space infection, which can be life-threatening in severe cases. At this time, regular dental treatment of the affected tooth is required, along with drug treatment, and if necessary, abscess incision and drainage."

Step 6: Residual crown and residual root

When you found that the teeth fell off piece by piece , leaving only a few crowns, you said with a little regret: "That's it! I guess there is no way to save it."

dentist said earnestly : " As far as current medical technology is concerned, post and crown restoration after root canal treatment can well preserve the residual crown and residual root. " Painless root canal treatment can achieve the best results.

Step 7: Pull out

When the dentist tells you that the tooth must be extracted, you cry, "I've lost my tooth, what can I do?"

At this time, the dentist comforts you and says , "Don't be afraid! You can have your teeth in three months."

There are currently three types of dental implants: dental implants, removable dentures, and porcelain bridges, which can meet your different needs.

How to prevent dental caries

The National Dental Prevention Group summarizes years of experience in oral health education and summarizes the effective methods for preventing caries into the following five aspects, which is called the "Five Steps of Dental Prevention".

1. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening, and use a high-quality toothbrush:

The occurrence of caries must have the participation of bacteria, and the reproduction and acid production of bacteria are mainly attached to the plaque. By brushing your teeth correctly in the morning and evening, most of the plaque on the neck and adjacent surfaces can be removed, and the gums can be effectively protected.

Toothbrush is an important tool for oral health, so how to choose a suitable toothbrush ? A toothbrush with rounded bristles is the basic requirement for a qualified toothbrush. When choosing a toothbrush, first choose a brush with good quality bristles, moderate hardness and density, because too hard bristles will damage the enamel layer and gums on the tooth surface, while too soft bristles cannot clean. Secondly, the size of the selected toothbrush should match the size of the individual's mouth and teeth. Most of the toothbrush packaging has instructions for which people or age groups are suitable for use, and can be selected according to the actual size of the mouth and teeth.

Generally speaking, it is recommended to use a small-headed toothbrush , because the small-headed toothbrush rotates flexibly in the oral cavity and can easily reach the places that are not easy to clean. For people with obvious gaps and uneven teeth, it is recommended to use a wave-type toothbrush or a special toothbrush. A toothbrush with an elastic handle is especially suitable for those who like to brush vigorously, because this toothbrush can slow down the transmission of force and protect the gums and teeth.

2. Use fluoride toothpaste:

Using fluoride toothpaste with a high-quality toothbrush can enhance the plaque removal effect, and protect the teeth from the acid production of bacteria, transform the hydroxyapatite structure of the enamel into a more acid-resistant fluorapatite, and also repair the damaged teeth. Acid damages tooth enamel.

3. Healthy eating:

Calcium is an important component of tooth tissue, and infant tooth development is even more inseparable from calcium. Pay attention to supplement calcium from a variety of foods, such as milk, cheese and green vegetables, which are beneficial to the health of teeth.

4. Eat less sugar or sugary snacks:

If you don't clean your teeth in time after eating candy or sucrose-rich snacks, bacteria in your mouth can quickly convert sugar and starch particles into acids that damage tooth enamel. Eating less sugar or sugary snacks is necessary to maintain dental health.

5. Check your teeth regularly:

Dental caries is a chronic disease. Under the combined effect of the above-mentioned various cariogenic factors, tooth decay occurs in about one and a half years. Regular visits to the dentist for oral examinations can keep you informed of the incidence of the oral cavity and teeth, and timely treatment can prevent the continued development of caries.
