If you want to know your oral health, you only need to pick up your mobile phone and take a pat.
Look at the photos and look at your teeth, and you will find-

Why is there a black seam on the tooth?
Want to dig, but can’t dig out what…
No, it didn’t hurt before, but this time it was still a little sour. !
… …
Unfortunately, behind this black seam, it is likely that tooth decay is waving to you.
Black Stitch is what? Is it tooth decay?
The color of the teeth is originally white. When the teeth are faintly black and gray, it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that tooth decay may have gradually developed.
The residue (including sugar) left in our mouth after eating is enough for bacteria in our mouth to eat. Bacteria are not eaten for nothing. After eating, acids will be produced and returned to you. Unfortunately, after a period of time, acids will gradually corrode hard tissue of teeth and form dental caries.
On the smooth surface of the teeth, food is not easily left on it. And even food residues that stick to the surface of the teeth rarely stick to it continuously by constantly scouring and brushing the teeth with saliva. This makes it difficult to form tooth decay-directly removing the nest of bacteria.
But it is different in the teeth. This is the best shelter for bacteria. Once the food residue gets stuck in the teeth, it is difficult to remove it easily.
Brush your teeth? I can’t brush it.
Gargle? It has less effect.
This allows bacteria to eat, continuously decompose sugar in food residues in a relatively closed environment, and continuously separate acidic substances, resulting in demineralization of tooth surfaces. Over time, tooth decay occurs.
The most important manifestation of tooth decay is that the teeth change color, create voids, and feel pain, especially under the stimulation of cold and heat. This is why we find [different caves] in the black seams when we grind them apart.
There is no black seam, does it mean that the teeth must be healthy?
Not really.
Tooth decay is one of the most common oral diseases. The pain and aesthetic problems caused by tooth decay are also the reasons why many people go to the dentist for the first time in their lives.
In practice, however, tooth decay is sometimes difficult to detect by oneself. In addition to the hidden tooth decay mentioned earlier, there are also some tooth decay that grows in the [pit and fissure] on the surface of the large tooth and appears to have only a small hole on the surface, which is very unnoticeable.
But in fact, the exposed part of tooth decay is only the tip of the iceberg, and huge damage may have been brewing in the deep part of the tooth.
In particular, tooth decay in the teeth requires a clinically experienced dentist to examine and take X-rays before it can be found. Once black seams are seen, tooth decay may have developed for a long time.
However, tooth decay may also be accompanied by toothache during its development. The lighter ones, such as toothache when drinking ice water and hot water, and the heavier ones, will suddenly feel toothache accompanied by headache and deformation in the dead of night.
Therefore, we should visit the dentist regularly long before the tooth hurts and turns black. Early examination, early detection and early treatment should be carried out. Don’t wait until the toothache comes to mind to see a doctor.
What if tooth decay happened?
Not by taking medicine, not by boiling! There is only one way after tooth decay, and that is to fill the teeth!
Filling teeth looks horrible, simple to say but difficult to do. Dentists use high-speed rotating grinding heads, which rotate more than 300,000 times per minute!
Grinding off part of the rotten tissue where tooth decay occurs may cause obvious tooth soreness and discomfort in the process-because the deeper the tooth decay, the closer it is to the tooth nerve, and the tooth nerve will produce pain when exposed to external stimulation.
If the tooth decay is not too deep, the dentist will fill the defect with filling materials to restore the healthy appearance of the tooth.
But!
If the tooth decay has already eaten into the tooth nerve, then I’m sorry-root canal therapy cannot escape. At this time, if you don’t take an anesthetic first, it is estimated that you can go straight to heaven in pain on the dental chair.
How much does it cost to wait until your toothache to see a doctor?
Calculate a bill for everyone:
If tooth decay is found at an early stage, only one hot pot meal is enough (200 ~ 300).
However, when tooth decay is deep enough to undergo root canal therapy, the teeth after root canal therapy often require an all-ceramic or porcelain braces, which is a mobile phone (3,000 ~ 4,000).
However, if this tooth is too rotten to be saved and has to be pulled out, then the price of dental implants in the future may be enough to buy a car (10,000 + each)! Do you think it’s worth it?
Treatment of early tooth decay = a hot pot
Treatment of mid-term tooth decay = a mobile phone
Treatment of advanced tooth decay = a gold bar
However, we should know that if we stick to the correct method of brushing our teeth twice a day, floss our teeth, and visit the dentist regularly for examination, we will probably still have a good mouth when we get old and don’t need to spend a penny!
So, go and have a dental examination with your family.
Early detection and early treatment, don’t wait until there is no remedy to regret.
