Tooth enamel is the hardest tissue present in the human body. Its composition is to blame for everything, 97% of which is inorganic compounds.

But even such “material” can be destroyed if oral hygiene is neglected.

Enamel is corroded by acid, which is formed during the life process of bacteria. Want to speed up the process? Drink acidic drinks and carbohydrate-rich foods - these products create an ideal breeding ground for bacteria.

Prevention of dental caries

If you want to avoid caries, use only high-quality toothpastes. When choosing a "cleaning agent", make sure that its production did not include components that aggressively affect tooth enamel and gums.

Don't be lazy in cleaning the spaces between your teeth, using dental floss for this purpose. It is in these places that plaque accumulations are especially large, which can lead to the formation of caries on two teeth at once.

Interdental brushes can also be used to clean between teeth. Consult your dentist to find the right size.

Finally, include quality mouthwashes in your dental care routine – they prevent the growth of bacteria.

If the above rules are followed, you can be sure that you will only need to visit the dentist for prevention, not for treatment.
