What are the manifestations and harms of tooth decay?

Everyone knows that "toothache is not a disease, it hurts really badly" has always been a popular saying, so do you know what are the manifestations and harms of tooth decay? Both adults and children will suffer from attention, so do you know the dangers of tooth decay, today Xiaobian will explain to you the manifestations and hazards of tooth decay.

At first, there is little discomfort in the patient, because the damage to tooth decay is limited to the outermost layer of enamel in the tooth.Although tooth enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body, it is not perceived.

Although there are no symptoms at this time, the diseased tooth has actually changed. The enamel of the lesion appears as a grayish but dull color, and as the lesion progresses, it gradually turns yellowish-brown, and further forms a shallow cavity.

In the groove of the occlusal surface of the tooth, the early cavity appears as a black lesion, and when the probe is examined with a dental probe, the damage can be hooked, indicating that a groove has been formed. This early form of enamel caries, once identified, should not be ignored because it is not painful, but should be treated early to stop it from progressing.

The progression of the disease is very slow, and in the course of its slow lesions, it does not cause any symptoms for a considerable period of time, and is often not easily noticed, so it is not treated early.

In addition, tooth decay and its secondary diseases, under normal circumstances, do not endanger people's lives and are usually not taken seriously, which aggravates the severity of tooth decay.Especially in adolescents and children, the incidence of tooth decay is very high, and tooth decay will cause great harm to the oral health and even general health of children and adolescents.

In particular, children who like to eat sweets are easy to get tooth decay, so parents must control their children's mouths and do not let their children eat indiscriminately to prevent children from getting tooth decay.
