Cavity

 

Perforated teeth are a condition in which the tooth is damaged which erodes the exterior (enamel) to the inside of the tooth (dentin), until it forms a hole. Tooth decay is caused by the buildup of bacteria in the mouth, frequent eating of sweet foods, and poor oral hygiene.

Hollow teeth are a common disorder, both in adults and children. Therefore, the dental examination needs to be done routinely, because generally cavities do not cause pain in the beginning so difficult to detect. Pregnant women or children with cavities should consult with a doctor immediately, as treatment and prevention may be different. If cavities are not treated immediately, the holes will dilate, as well as risk infections and tooth loss.

Dental Tooth Symptoms

The symptoms that appear on each person may differ, depending on the severity and location of the holes on the teeth. When the hole is small and newly formed, symptoms may not appear or not. However, when the condition worsens, the symptoms will be:

• Toothache, especially when biting or when teeth are pressed.
• Teeth become sensitive.
• Pain when eating sweet or cold or hot foods or drinks.
• There are obvious holes in the tooth
• Spontaneous, spontaneous, painless teeth.
• There are parts of teeth that change color to white, brown, or black.

Dental Causes

Teeth holes are generally initiated by the presence of plaque on the mouth. Plaque comes from food scraps containing sugar such as bread, cereal, milk, soft drinks, fruit, cakes, or sweets, which are then converted by natural bacteria in the mouth to acid. The combination of bacteria, acids, leftover food in the mouth, and saliva will form the plaque attached to the tooth. The acid contained in the plaque slowly erodes the layers of the teeth, to form a hole in the tooth.

In addition, cavities can also be triggered by several other factors, such as:

• Not using fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride is a compound commonly contained in toothpaste, serves to treat health and prevent tooth decay.
• Regular use of medicines, supplements, vitamins, or herb products containing sugar.
• Growing age.
• Suffering from eating disorders (eg anorexia or bulimia) and acid reflux disease.
• Dry mouth.
• Too much food or drink sweet or sour.
• Rarely brush or clean teeth

Punched Tooth Diagnosis

Checks usually begin with sessions frequently asked questions, especially around the symptoms experienced by the patient. The dentist will then see the condition of the mouth and teeth, then touch the teeth with a special tool to check the soft areas due to tooth decay.

Tooth rays can also be used to check the condition of the teeth. X-rays can show the damage that occurs in the teeth, even though the damage has not been seen with the eye.

Perforated Tooth Treatments

The treatment of cavities may vary, depending on the severity of the condition experienced by each patient. Some medical measures that can be done to cope with cavities include:

• Filling. Filling or dental patch is the most common action done in dealing with cavities. During the process, the doctor will first use the drill to remove the damaged tooth. The removed teeth are then patched with special materials, such as resin composite, porcelain, gold, or silver.
• Crown. Crown or bracket is usually selected to deal with more severe damage or to patients with weak tooth condition. Crown is the act of mounting a dentist's crown on a broken tooth. Most of the damaged teeth will be eroded, leaving a small portion for the crown of a dentist's crown. Just like the material used for dental fillings, the crown of a dentist can be made of gold, porcelain, or resin composite.
• Root canal . Root canal or root canal treatment is generally done when the damage has reached the inside of the tooth or tooth root. This action is to fix the damage without having to pull out the tooth.
• Toothbrushes. This action is usually done when the damage is severe and can not be recovered. The installation of dentures or dental implants into a solution to fill the tooth gap is removed.

Hollow teeth will cause pain, especially if the condition worsens. Some ways that can be done to relieve pain are:

• Tooth cleaning to sensitive areas.
• Avoid foods and drinks that are too hot or too cold.
• Taking painkillers, such as ibuprofen or diclofenac. However, the use of these medicines should be on the recommendation of a physician.
