Cavities

Cavities happen when your tooth dentine breaks down, and you have a hole. What is the subject of debate in popular dentistry, is, how do they happen.

Why Does Your Tooth Develop a Hole?

Conventional dentistry believes that bacteria that form acids and dental plaque are the cause of tooth decay. The conventional theory also says that our diet contributes to tooth decay. Finally, whenever someone has a cavity, the assumption is made that it is because they did not take care of their teeth by brushing or flossing, or because they did not use enough fluoride via their water or toothpaste. Heredity is supposed to play a role in tooth decay.

Types of Cavities

1. Coronal cavities are the most common cavity. Coronal cavities are located on the top of the teeth or between the teeth.
2. Root cavities occur on the root of the tooth when part of the tooth's root is exposed.
3. Recurrent tooth decay are cavities that form around existing fillings and crowns. (This can be the worst since the tooth has already been drilled and filled.)

Dentists

A dentist examines your teeth using x-rays and a dental probe. On x-rays cavities can appear to be dark spots, or look like small volcanic explosions. If your dentist discovers a cavity, he or she uses the dental probe to confirm that there is a soft or sticky spot. To fix it the dentist removes the rotted part of your tooth with a drill after giving a few shots of Novocain. The dentist then fills the hole in your tooth with a special material, hopefully not containing mercury or other toxic substances.

Preventing Cavities

1. Avoid processed and dangerous foods.
2. Use tooth powder or other alternatives rather than tooth paste, since the paste can stick on teeth.
3. Eat foods that are organic and high in minerals.
4. Do not eat excessive sweets, including eating tropical fruits several times daily. Try to limit your fruit/sweet intake to once or twice per day, not five times a day and do not sweeten every meal. Many people are addicted to sweet food because it is a temporary substitute for real nourishment from foods high in organic fats and minerals.
