It is very important to come in for a regular dental exams and teeth cleanings. A dental cavity, if left untreated can go on to cause tooth loss. When dental decay reaches the center of the tooth, you will need to have a root canal procedure in order to save the tooth. If you have a dental cavity, you may feel a pain in your tooth when you eat something that is sweet. Sometimes, you can even see the cavity on your tooth when you look in the mirror. Dental cavities are caused by dental acids which eat through your teeth. These acids will form in your mouth when material from the plaque in your mouth mixes with carbs which are present in your mouth from the foods that you eat. To reduce the number of cavities that you get, you will want to make sure that your teeth remain as plaque-free as possible. Plaque is an extremely sticky and colorless film which is filled with bacteria; it is continuously created in your mouth, so the only way to deal with dental plaque is to make sure that it is effectively removed from your teeth. Fluoride treatments can also be used to help strengthen tooth enamel. In order to avoid getting cavities, it is also important that you brush after each meal, and after snacks that contain carbs and sweets. It is also important to floss on a daily basis. If you are not familiar with proper brushing and flossing techniques, you can receive this information at our
dental office Bolingbrook, as well.
