Caries is a disease that mainly affects the younger population, but when we arrived at an advanced age, we start losing our teeth and <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/oral-health">oral health</a> are also affected.</p>
<p>Caries has been a topic of concern to experts and research that every day is more about oral health, tooth pastes and methods which help to prevent these diseases.</p>
<p>Sometimes it has been to create certain types of <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-tips-info/toothpaste">toothbrush</a> or products that protect enamel and gums sensitive. The latest invention, is found in the dental microscope, which allows through increasing optical decay vision and find anywhere in our mouths.</p>
<p><span id="more-292"></span>With the old standards remained hidden <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tips-to-prevent-tooth-decay.htm">cavities</a> in the corners and in small fissures of the teeth, but now, with the microscope we can see anywhere in expanded form so we can remove any appearance of decay to the smallest detail.</p>
<p>If we add these new technologies, the use of fissure sealants get a really effective technique.</p>
<p>Crack seals create a barrier that protects the teeth area and aims to fill the cracks and points of enamel for easy cleaning of the teeth and thus avoid the embedding of bacteria that form cavities in them.</p>

Dental <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/98-percent-of-mexicans-with-caries.htm">caries</a> are holes that appear in the enamel of the teeth. Currently, they are considered as another disease, since they cause a disturbance of the person&#8217;s health, both short and long term.</p>
<p>It is rare that a baby under one year already have <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-caries">cavities</a>, but to prevent them we must begin to act even before the appearance of this disease.</p>
<p><span id="more-278"></span><strong>What are the causes?</strong><br />
To see tooth must coexist several factors:</p>
<p>    * Some bacteria (often considered an infectious disease).</p>
<p>    * Presence of sugar in the mouth. Most foods contain different types of sugars or carbohydrates. For example, milk containing lactose or bread or cereals contain starch.</p>
<p>    * The sugars and bacteria to coexist together in <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/dental-care">dental</a> plaque for some time. Dental plaque is a thin layer composed of cells of the mouth and food debris, which are attached to the teeth, especially in the cracks between other teeth and gumline. That is where live bacteria that cause cavities.<br />
      The bacteria feed on sugars and produce acid substances as a waste that erode tooth enamel.</p>
<p><strong>What are they like?</strong><br />
A caries begins as a mere speck in the tooth. At first, it appears that the enamel loses brightness and becomes more opaque. It soon becomes a small brown area where the enamel sinks.</p>
<p>The gap grows and deepens. You can destroy the entire visible portion of the tooth or it may be a small hole that penetrates to the root of the tooth.</p>
<p>Cavities start to hurt when they reach the pulp of the tooth, ie where the nervios.Subir</p>
<p><strong>What do we do?</strong><br />
The first step is prevention from birth and before the baby teeth appear.</p>
<p>Small cavities in baby teeth can be covered with a layer of fluoride, known as &#8220;sealed.&#8221;</p>
<p>Once produced the cavity, the only solution is the filling. Dentists call it &#8220;curettage.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Can complicate?</strong><br />
Some toddlers have cavities in all teeth. This causes them problems when eating. In this way, they cost a lot to chew food.</p>
<p>They are called baby bottle tooth decay to those in the front incisors of an infant. In general, are caused by the habit of putting honey or sugar on a pacifier or by continually giving sweet drinks like juice.</p>
<p>The other complication is the abscess. In children, infection of the root of a tooth, usually causes a lump in the gum that is filled with pus and can be opened, known as fistula.</p>
<p><strong>Can it be prevented?</strong><br />
Although babies are born without teeth, inside your gums are already a few small sketches of what will be their baby teeth. These will be stronger if the mother takes a fluoride supplement throughout pregnancy.</p>
<p>When the baby is born, we must remember that:</p>
<p>    * Breastfeeding promotes a better development of the jaws and teeth bottles.</p>
<p>    * There should accustom the baby to use pacifiers. Avoid it if the child does not show too much emphasis, &#8220;hobby&#8221; or dependency. As children settle down or even better! when they take in their arms, talk to them or serve. Remember that you should never put honey, sugar or condensed milk on the pacifier to soothe a crying baby. If you get used to the sweet, when your teeth appear cavities are formed quickly.</p>
<p>    * Bottles night. Although during the first months of life, babies tend to eat often, including during the night, after they get teeth is recommended not to give bottles of dawn. The reason is that while falling asleep at once, the language does not move and no &#8220;clean&#8221; the teeth. Then there are remnants of milk (with or without grain) may begin to favor Cairo.</p>
<p>    * Dental hygiene should start from which the first teeth. Parents can use a handkerchief or a wet gasita to clean the teeth of the baby until 15-18 months. After that age, your baby wants to imitate adults and have their own toothbrush. He knows not brushing properly, it is time to begin to guide your hand to learn. Before age 4 should not use toothpaste, because it is going to swallow. This should be done after every meal, but at least once a day, before putting the child to sleep.</p>
<p>    * Do not start the baby in the consumption of sweets or sweet drinks between meals offer.</p>
<p><strong>How useful are the medicines?</strong><br />
Fluoride is a substance important in preventing tooth decay. In many places, water use food is supplemented with fluoride.</p>
<p>You may take the mother during pregnancy, and later, the baby can do it in the form of drops or tablets (dose depends on age, but also that the tap water has enough of this mineral).</p>

The choice of <strong><a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-tips-info/toothpaste">toothpaste</a></strong> with specific properties is essential.</p>
<p><strong>Antiplaque and antibacterial</strong><br />
The problem <strong>Dental plaque</strong> is a deposit of food debris and bacteria that is set in the teeth. The sugars are converted into acids and are wearing away the enamel, creating cavities. The gum tissue becomes irritated, causing gingivitis and teeth eventually loosen their grips natural.</p>
<p>The solution: use a toothpaste with high concentration of chlorhexidine, since it is a powerful antibacterial. This component purifies the mouth and helps fight bacteria, limiting the onset of gingivitis. The action is progressive and takes several hours.</p>
<p><strong>Strengthen the enamel</strong><br />
The problem: Over time, the enamel wears out, cracks, demineralized by lack of saliva. This is the one that supplies the teeth and provides them with calcium. The gums recede causing the mobility of the teeth, which eventually lose their natural color.</p>
<p>The solution: a peroxide-based toothpaste calcium can mineralize and strengthen tooth enamel, while eliminating the bacteria responsible for plaque. This molecule also has a bleaching effect, attenuating the color of the surface. For greater efficiency, it is advisable to keep a time the toothpaste in the mouth after brushing and before rinsing.</p>

The ideal is to have a <strong>tongue scraping</strong>, and that it every day and every time we need a more thorough cleaning.</p>
<p><strong>Bacteria and bad breath</strong><br />
The mouth is home to thousands of germs and bacteria, which are responsible for the plaque that accumulates on teeth. Tartar is deposited on the teeth as much about language. The bacterial flora contributes to bad breath.</p>
<p>This phenomenon is accentuated, generally, men in particular, since they have a language more raspy than women.</p>
<p>The specific attention to the language of men favor the capture and retention of all kinds and waste food particles, which are conducive to bacterial growth.</p>
<p>Indeed, it is these bacteria which favor the development of dental caries. But at the same time generate some malodorous gases, responsible for halitosis.</p>
<p>Although it is recommended <strong><a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/daily-brushing">brushing teeth</a></strong> three times a day, and after each meal, to get rid of oral bacteria, it is also necessary to have an effective <strong>scraping of the tongue</strong>.</p>
<p>The ideal is to do with a jet of pressurized water to remove as much waste accumulated between the teeth, or floss, and end with a special mouthwash.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.mercerdentistry.com/images/smile.jpg" alt="Dreamy Smile" width="184" height="184" />The mouth is not just for talking or eating. The mouth plays a vital role in the game of seduction. Just as the look is very important in the art of communication, mouth and lips are not far behind.</p>
<p>If our aim is to have a <strong><a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/">perfect smile</a></strong>, the first thing we must bear in mind is that our teeth deserve all the care and attention of the world.</p>
<p>The teeth are suffering daily from external aggressions such as food, and bacteria, significantly damaging tooth enamel. Therefore it is necessary to wash our at least twice daily teeth.</p>
<p>Ideally, brushing after every meal, and how to do this is from the gums towards the edge of the teeth. A horizontal brush damage and ends up weakening the enamel.</p>
<p>A toothbrush should be renewed every three months. If more than this time prolong the life of the brushes, the final stop being effective. A brand new toothbrush can remove up to 30% more plaque that if we do it with a brush used.</p>
<p>To complete <strong><a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/brush">daily brushing</a></strong> should floss, because it is a good tool to loosen the food waste that is stored between the teeth, and they normally do not get the brush.</p>

<p>Although saliva is extremely essential for maintaining <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/tag/oral-health">oral</a> health, we rarely stop to think about its importance. This is why we decided to comment you the importance that really does in our body.</p>
<p>That saliva is not only responsible for assisting in digestion and food processing, it also protects the inner surface of the mouth and <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/category/dental-care">teeth</a> because of its alkaline pH neutralizes the acids produced by plaque. In addition, it protects the inner surface of the mouth is used to diagnose diabetes, <a href="http://www.imperfectsmilerecords.com/beware-of-oral-diseases-in-summer.htm">oral</a> cancer and periodontal diseases in general, gives teeth the calcium and phosphate necessary for remineralisation; is a powerful reservoir of fluorine, and dilutes and removes sugars in the mouth.</p>
<p><span id="more-206"></span>When the amount of saliva decreases or composition is altered, cause problems such as dry mouth, dental caries and calculus. In addition there is a condition called xerostomia, which brings trouble speaking, eating and even to support the structure of the teeth, which can trigger the loss of one or more pieces. It is also common for people with this disorder manifest pain and irritation in the mucosa and to feel that their language is constantly irritated and when burned with a hot food.</p>
<p>If, however, the saliva is too abundant, often occurring erosive lesions on the lips or skin of the face that edge. This is compounded by the uncomfortable feeling that must support those who constantly feel his mouth full of &#8216;water&#8217; and to talk, eat or sleep lost control.</p>
<p><strong>Alterations</strong><br />
Factors such as the number of teeth in the mouth, dehydration, age, sex, mouth breathing or psychological issues like stress and anxiety can reduce the flow of the salivary glands. It is also common that the production of saliva vary if progressively destroying illnesses such as dementia teeth. Also, some drugs produce adverse effects on the glands and it is essential to pay attention to side effects of medical treatments.</p>
<p>The first is to ask a medical diagnosis. Usually this is accomplished through an ultrasound (a procedure that uses sound waves that pass to the glands to see the size and condition of the same), nuclear magnetic resonance, CT scan or a biopsy.</p>
<p><strong>Treatment</strong><br />
Xerostomia can be treated with stimulants in saliva or artificial saliva substitutes &#8216;irritate&#8217; the glands to react to stimuli.<br />
For excess saliva is essential to determine the cause for this disorder can be caused by psychological problems, excessive use of snuff in even the hormonal changes of pregnancy.</p>
