Dental odor prevention method

The inside of the tooth becomes stinky, it does not hurt or swollen. Use a toothpick to scrape it out in the tooth and smell it, or smell the food residue in the teeth.

Dental caries are most likely to occur in the bite face of the molars and bicuspids, in the fissures, and in the contact surfaces of adjacent teeth. The former is called a sulcus, and the latter is called an adjacent sputum. Children have very few caries in the neck of the teeth and are only visible when severe malnutrition or certain systemic diseases make the body extremely weak. According to the degree of caries destruction, the clinical can be divided into shallow, middle and deep.

1. Shallow sputum: Corrosion damage is only in the enamel, the initial manifestation of enamel brown or dark brown spots or plaques, rough surface. Surface damage is then formed. The adjacent enamel begins to occur below the contact surface, and the pit and sulcus begins to be in the sulcus, which is not easy to see in the early stages. It can only be seen when it occurs at the sulcus, but it is easy to have pigmentation of food at the mouth of the child's teeth. If the doctor does not carefully check it, it will be misdiagnosed or missed. Shallow sputum has no symptoms.

2. Lieutenant: The eclipse has reached the dentin and forms a shallow cavity in the dentin. The sick child feels sore teeth in cold water, cold air or sweet and sour food, but the symptoms disappear immediately after the stimulation is removed. This is due to the allergic reaction to dentin. The timely treatment of the lieutenant has a good effect.

3. Squat: The eclipse has reached the depth of the dentin, close to the pulp, or has affected the pulp. Children have a feeling of cold, heat, acid, and sweetness, especially sensitive to heat, and most of them need to be treated with endodontics to preserve their teeth.

Differential diagnosis

Symptoms of tooth odor

Abnormal teeth: The development of human teeth is a complex and lengthy process. In this long process, various unfavorable factors inside and outside the body can cause different types of developmental abnormalities in different stages of tooth development, such as abnormal teeth eruption, abnormal number, abnormal morphology and abnormal tooth structure.

Gingivitis: Inflammation of the gums is the first stage of gum disease, which is the easiest to cure. The direct cause of gingivitis is the long-term formation of spots on the teeth and gums, which is a thin layer of soft, sticky and colorless bacteria.

Yellow teeth: The teeth appear yellow due to various reasons. The latest research found that when the human body is developed, the human body stops supplying auxin to the skeletal system, and the nutritional supply chain of the teeth changes dramatically. At this time, the human teeth will change from the snowy state of childhood to the ivory color (beige) with increasing age. In fact, this is the sign that the life of the skeletal system is gradually becoming inactive.

Dark spots of teeth: Some people drink or eat foods that are easy to dye for a long time, or long-term exposure to certain minerals, such as long-term use of potassium permanganate water to gargle, silver nitrate treatment of oral diseases can be exposed to mercury. Both can make the teeth black. Contact with iron, sulfur and other substances, it is easy to make the teeth appear black and green. In addition, enamel hypoplasia, dentin hypoplasia, hereditary opal teeth, dental fluorosis, tetracycline teeth, dental caries, etc. can make the teeth yellow, brown, black.
