The Causes Of Cavities

In childhood maybe we never ask our parents:

"What the heck is causing our teeth pierced?"

       This now or at the time the child we ask it to us. What is our responsibility? On School activities (social service) subjected to a primary school in Bali some time ago, there was a student ask me "did not Actually existing, the Caterpillar in the teeth it can create hollow teeth?" Perhaps the thing that is where students conceived occurring decay cause definitely the Caterpillar. When young children it is still acceptable and make sense of them. But how we've grown, is it still assumes that the cause of cavities that the Caterpillar naughty?

Cavities are a problem that is most often encountered in the human oral cavity. Cavities or in the language of medicine "caries" is an infectious disease (microbes) that involves a network of calcification (email & dentin) of the teeth. Dimineralisasi characterized by the presence of inorganic substances and organic substances from damaged teeth. Dental hard tissue damage occurs because of some foktor causes the following.

The Cause Of Cavities (Caries)

Cavities occur because of 4 interconnected factors, namely:

1. The Host

The specified host is teeth and saliva as the mainstream media.

2. Substrate

Given substrate or food can influence the occurrence of holes in teeth. Because a given substrate in the form of carbohydrates mainly sucrose can help the microorganisms in the oral cavity produces acids that can create cavities.

3. The microorganism

The microorganisms that form of the bacterium Streptococcus mutans, one of which causes cavities.

4. Time

Time becomes the deciding factor occurred or whether holes in teeth, after the host factor, substrate, and microorganisms. When the third factor has been joined, will form hard plaques attached to the surface of the teeth, and these plaques will take approximately 6-48 months to make it hollow teeth.

So the conclusion is the bacteria the causes of cavities must be inside the human mouth. When there is food or substrates in the form of carbohydrates mainly sucrose consumed man, stuck in a long time on the teeth and oral cavity of humans, Streptococcus mutans bacteria will help dkk produce acid. This is the acid substance that would erode the hard tissue of teeth little by little. Due to the nature of hard tissue of tooth calcification or network that are not resistant to acids.

The four factors of mutual need and connect. If one factor does not exist, then the hole in the tooth will not be formed. Therefore the prevention of cavities can be done by eliminating or reducing the substrate, by means of factors prevent the substrate sticks to old factor on the surface of the teeth and in the oral cavity, so that bacteria cannot produce acid.
