Caries is the most common dental disease. Often it leads to deep destruction of the tissues of the tooth, the development of pulpitis, periodontitis. Therefore, only timely treatment will help to avoid the above problems.
Most often, tooth decay 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 rich in sucrose. Therefore, because of the diet with a predominance of sweets, children's caries most often occurs. Dental treatment is a rather unpleasant procedure (especially for a child), so it is best to eliminate the causes of caries in advance. Namely, to monitor compliance with oral hygiene and not give children a lot of foods containing sucrose.
Modern dentistry can treat caries through several methods applicable to both adults and children. These are dental filling, ozone and laser treatment. But, despite the existence of the above methods, many people want to treat caries at home, trying with all their might to delay the 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 a dentist, where caries treatment will be carried out 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 the tooth to return an attractive appearance and basic functions in the shortest possible time.
Composite materials are used for filling teeth, which 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. It also does not require drilling of dental tissue and the installation of fillings.
A special apparatus is used to treat caries with ozone. Its job is to convert oxygen into ozone. Next, a small cap is filled with the generated ozone, which is fixed on the aching tooth.
Ozone penetrates deep into the tooth tissue, destroying pathogenic bacteria. The dentist treats the cavity with a special strengthening agent. After that, the patient goeshome and forget about caries.
Laser treatment
Also caries can be cured with laser radiation. This procedure is absolutely painless and does not damage tooth enamel. The advantages of laser treatment can also be attributed to the selective direction of the beams.
After laser treatment, the patient's main signs of caries disappear - increased sensitivity of dental tissues and their demineralization.
By the way, lasers can not only cure caries, but also diagnose it. Lasers have two advantages over X-ray examination - the efficiency of use and the absence of harmful radiation.
