You need food, especially sweet and sticky foods, so that the bacteria in the oral cavity will produce acid that will attack the tooth enamel (the outer surface of the tooth). Sugar, especially sucrose, reacts with bacteria to produce acid. Acid from bacteria will rot your teeth.
This is not just the candy and ice cream we are talking about. All carbohydrate foods, because they are digested, eventually break down into monosaccharides such as glucose and fructose. Some digestion starts from the mouth. Foods that break down into monosaccharides in the mouth are called fermentable carbohydrates. These include obvious sugary foods such as cookies, cakes, soft drinks, and candy, but also crackers, crackers, bananas, potato chips, and breakfast cereals. The sugars in these foods are usually combined with bacteria in the mouth to form acids. These acids cause the mineral crystals in the tooth to begin to dissolve.
When these acids begin to dissolve the tooth's outer protective layer, enamel, dental caries develop. As the molars pass through the enamel and reach the lower layers of the teeth, cavities are formed. You can reverse carious lesions (before it becomes a cavity) by using various fluoride products. These include fluorinated water, fluoride rinses for household use, and of course any fluorinated toothpaste.
Every time you eat, bacteria in your mouth produce acid. Therefore, the more times you eat more, your teeth will be attacked by acidity. diagnosis
Usually, your dentist can diagnose a tooth abscess by checking your mouth. He or she can push the swollen area of the gum and perform an endodontic test on the affected tooth to see if it is still alive. Pulp tests can include:
Tap (strike) on the teeth
Temperature test
Using electric tester on teeth
Your dentist can also check x-rays for bone erosion around the roots of the teeth.
