Guys I want to tell you about this kind of cavities...
The ones with fractures (holes) and painful...

The main cause of these cavities and fractures is these foods.
Food that causes the imbalance in the oral pH and these are only a few amongst many.

The trick to avoid them is just to brush twice a day, in the morning and at night before you sleep (preferably after meals)
Rinse with water after meals during the day and try to eat sugary foods as fast as possible because eating them slowly prolongs the pH imbalance

You can use any toothpaste with fluoride (not an ambassador to any brand). Fluoride is anticariogenic meaning it kills germs that cause caries.
Use a soft bristled tooth brush which will help remove plaque from in between the teeth, hard ones cause abrasions to teeth.
And please try to floss at least three times a week guys..
There are areas which the toothbrush cannot reach, so floss does magic.

Okay sharp.. let’s say you have this and it’s not painful..
Please go to your dental practitioner and get a filling ASAP.. because this is just a recipe for disaster, the toothache that comes with this

And if it’s already causing mild pain or severe pain.. go consult and don’t fight when we want to take x-rays!! We want to see if we can save the tooth
But you know nothing is impossible with dentistry right

Okay if it’s painful and we can save it, we usually drill it (remove the cavity) then add a material that formulates secondary dentine *how magical
* and it’s called dycal

Then we place a temporary filling... which has to stay for about 8-12 weeks before we are sure that the tooth is ready for a permanent filling...
This treatment is called caries treatment

works magic I tell you
This treatment is called caries treatment



Anyways... enjoy the rest of your day and brush 


And again guys I’m not an ambassador of any brand, but brands of your choice

Okay sharp, I’m getting DM’s on my opinion about extractions (removing teeth)... here’s my honest opinion.
Look, extractions remove pain without possibilities of it not coming back but people don’t actually know the downside of taking out a tooth

Once you take out a tooth adjacent to the top or the bottom one.. the other tooth moves up/down to try to fill the space and it will end up being mobile (moving) and you’ll loose it too
Meaning that you loose two teeth

The other thing is that teeth on the sides actually move to also try to fill the gap and they too end up moving also then you’ll lose them too

So you guys can always opt for root canals because they save the tooth and actually completely remove the pain and all possible sensations... so instead of taking out teeth, go for root canals
