diseases are dominated by statistical Cavities after flu fever. Cavities can happen to anyone, although in general, often appear in young adolescents anakatau. Cavities is this which is the main reason for tooth loss at a young age.
The cause of tooth decay itself because of bacterial Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli. This specific bacterium that converts carbohydrates to glucose and mkanan into acid through a fermentation process. Acid is continuously produced by the bacteria and eventually damage the structure of the teeth little by little. Then the plaque and bacteria start to work 20 minutes after eating.
Acid produced in the plaque will continue to damage the enamel. Then the bacteria will follow the path that has been created by the acid and infect the next layer, the dentin. If not treated, this process will continue running so that holes will be deepened.
Cavities usually do not cause pain unless the complaint has reached the dentin and dental pulp. What is the reason? Because the pulp is full of nerve cells and blood vessels due to infection, then there will be constant pain. Complications occurred later with the death of nerve cells so that the pain stop.
At this stage, most people often overlook. Yet when nerve cells die, the damage in the teeth continue to run until ketulang supporters. As a result, the fluid will be collected and there is an abscess (swelling). Abscess begins to look to the surface of the gingival (gum). In addition, it also causes damage to the bone supporting the teeth begin to shake. If not treated immediately, resulting in the extraction (extraction) of teeth.
