Tooth enamel is the upper surface of the tooth. When it is destroyed, caries, tartar and various infections that destroy the tooth may appear. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body due to its high content of inorganic substances.
Damage to the enamel can be caused by contact with hard and harmful substances for the enamel, as well as by improper nutrition system.
The main contribution to the destruction of tooth enamel is made by food acids, which are found in carbonated drinks, alcohol, lemons, etc. Since saliva is a natural defender of tooth enamel, its deficiency leads to its damage, so dry mouth is also the cause of damage to tooth enamel. In turn, dryness can be caused by both a violation of the work of individual organs, and by taking certain drugs of the antihistamine and antidipressant groups.
Signs of damage to the tooth enamel include:
1. Discoloration of teeth.
2. Increased sensitivity.
3. The appearance of cracks and chips.
Restoration of tooth enamel.
1. In case of minor damage and in the early stages of damage to the tooth enamel, it may be useful to take vitamins D, C, K and A, as well as the use of special toothpastes and mouthwash with liquids containing fluoride.
2. Mineralization of tooth enamel using toothpastes of a special composition.
3. Coating the tooth enamel with a special solution – amalgam. It covers all cracks and crevices on the tooth surface
By the way, cracks in tooth enamel can occur for two reasons:
1. Volumetric expansion of the tooth at a sharp temperature drop. This threatens those who like to eat ice cream and drink it with hot coffee.
2. Eating solid food.
The specialists of the Corona Dental clinic have extensive experience in the detection and treatment of periodontitis. It is better to entrust the health of your teeth to professionals than to experience discomfort later due to problems associated with gum inflammation and tooth loss.
