Non-obvious causes of dental caries have been identified
As is known, the most common cause of the problem is poor hygiene, as well as the abuse of unhealthy food, which negatively affects the condition of the teeth.
Uncontrolled consumption of sweets, fast food and soda destroys teeth. Sometimes antibiotics can also provoke problems. As a result, dry mouth appears. The amount of plaque in this case increases.
But there are other reasons that are rarely talked about.
Dr. Elena Martynova spoke about this in more detail.
She noted during a conversation with representatives of Lenta.ru that chips and cracks in the enamel appear due to an incorrect bite or crooked teeth.
In addition, wisdom teeth may be the cause.
As the dentist noted, areas with enamel defects can be difficult to clean. As a result, bacteria and plaque accumulate there.
The appearance of caries in this case becomes natural.
Vitamin deficiency, problems with the gastrointestinal tract and thyroid gland also lead to the appearance of caries.
Martynova noted that stress and poor sleep also create optimal conditions for the development of the disease, gum inflammation.
