Surely sometimes you have felt a toothache that then disappeared. So, you went looking for something strange; you looked in the mirror and found a cavity in your tooth!!! However, it didn’t hurt so, you forgot about it. But do you think that it will disappear on its own?
First, we must understand how cavities develop, depending principally on three factors:
There are a lot of microorganisms in our mouths, especially on the surface of our teeth. They are constantly breaking down acids from food scraps. If these food scraps remain in the mouth for a long time without being removed, then the microorganisms will produce more acids. So, these acids will gradually disintegrate the hardest structure of the tooth called enamel.
First, a white spot will appear. This spot is the area of the tooth that is demineralized, though it can be re-mineralized with Fluorine. If this area continues to demineralize, then the cavity itself will form. This cavity could reach the dentin (the layer under the enamel) which could cause pain, or the pulp (where the vessels and nerves are) of the tooth, taking away its vitality.
Yes, they will, and for that, you must pay attention to the following tips.
Remember that we can keep the demineralization and re-mineralization process in balance with good brushing. As we mentioned, time is an important factor in the development of cavities, so brushing your teeth at least 20 minutes after each meal is essential. This brushing must be done with toothpaste with at least 1100ppm of Fluoride. You find this information in the description of the ingredients of your toothpaste.
