What Causes Tooth Sensitivity to Heat?

Dental caries (dentalcaries) is a disease in which the hard tissues of the teeth are gradually destroyed. The source of the interstitial taste is mainly from the decayed tooth cavity. It is not easy to clean up the food due to long-term choking of food. Over time, the choked food will smell, and when you clean it out, you can feel the odor.

Causes of tooth odor

The source of the interstitial taste is mainly from the decayed tooth cavity. Due to the long-term stuffing of food, it is not easy to clean it out. Over time, the stuffing food will smell, and when you clean it out, you can feel the odor.

First, the reasons for digestive intestines; second, oral problems should be treated as soon as possible; third, personal hygiene habits: such as irregular schedules, not timely brushing and rinsing; other causes of tooth odor are pathological, Such as gingivitis, tooth root rot, etc., it is best to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, so that the right medicine.

How to prevent tooth odor

The tooth becomes stinky, does not hurt or swell, use a toothpick to scrape it out of the tooth and smell it, or the toothache between the teeth picks out stinky food residue.

Caries are most likely to occur in the pits and fissures of molars and bicuspids, as well as the contact surfaces of adjacent teeth. The former is called fossa caries, and the latter is called adjacent caries. Dental caries in children's necks are extremely rare and are only seen when severe malnutrition or some systemic disease makes the body extremely weak. According to the degree of caries destruction, the clinical can be divided into superficial caries, medium caries and deep caries.

1. The superficial caries and caries damage is only in the enamel. Initially, the enamel appears brown or dark brown spots or plaques, and the surface is rough. Surface damage then occurs. Adjacent caries began to occur below the contact surface, and pit and fissure caries mostly started in the sulcus, which was not easy to see at an early stage. It can be seen only when it occurs in the fossa, but children's teeth are also prone to pigmentation of the fossa. Misdiagnosis or misdiagnosis can also occur if the doctor does not check carefully. Superficial caries has no conscious symptoms.

2. The middle caries caries has reached dentin, forming a superficial carious cavity of dentin. Sick children may have sore teeth on cold water, cold air, or sweet and sour food, but the symptoms disappear immediately after the irritation is removed. This is because dentin is allergic to irritation. The treatment of middle caries is timely and good.

3. Deep caries and caries have reached the deep level of dentin, close to the pulp, or have affected the pulp. The child has pain in cold, heat, sour, and sweet, especially sensitive to heat. After the failure is removed, the pain continues for a certain period of time and then gradually disappears. At this time, most need endodontic treatment to preserve teeth.

Tooth confusing symptoms

Tooth anomalies: The development of human teeth is a complex and lengthy process. During this long process, various unfavorable factors inside and outside the body affect different stages of tooth development, which can cause different types of developmental abnormalities, such as abnormal tooth eruption, abnormal numbers, abnormal morphology, and abnormal dental structure.

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

Teeth yellowing: The teeth appear yellow due to various reasons. The latest research found that when human development is completed, the human body stops supplying auxin to the skeletal system, so the nutrition supply chain of the teeth changes dramatically. At this time, human teeth will gradually change from the snow-white state of childhood to varying degrees with age and turn into ivory (beige). In fact, this is a sign that the life state of the skeletal system is gradually becoming inactive.

Dark spots on the teeth: Some people drink or eat foods with stains for a long time, or have long-term exposure to certain minerals, such as gargle with potassium permanganate water for a long period of time, and can be exposed to mercury with silver nitrate to treat oral diseases. Can make your 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 opalescent teeth, fluorosis, tetracycline teeth, and dental caries can cause teeth to appear yellow, brown, and black.

How to prevent tooth odor

Preventing dental caries is a very important child health work, and its basic principle is to take corresponding measures according to the disease factors.

1. Reducing or eliminating pathogenic irritants Reducing or eliminating plaque, changing the oral environment, and creating clean conditions are important links to prevent caries. The most practical and effective way is to brush your teeth and rinse your mouth. Publicity and education should be strengthened to enable children to develop oral hygiene habits and learn to brush their teeth reasonably. Brushing your teeth can remove most bacteria in your mouth and reduce plaque formation. Children can scrub their teeth with a soft towel or velvet. Toddlers can learn to brush their teeth after 3 years of age. Brush as much as possible in the morning and evening, and rinse your mouth after meals. Brushing your teeth before saliva is more important, because bacteria are prone to multiply at long intervals at night. You must brush in a smooth manner, that is, the upper part is brushed from the top to the lower part, the lower teeth are brushed from the bottom to the top, both inside and outside, and you must pay attention to the bite of the back teeth. In this way, the food residues on the teeth and between the teeth can be cleaned and rinsed after brushing. Do not brush horizontally, it is easy to damage the gums, and it will not clean the residue in the teeth. In 1975, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Light Industry and the Ministry of Commerce jointly held a national toothbrush conference to formulate a temporary specification for health toothbrushes. In 1989, the National Health Standards Technical Committee was convened by the Ministry of Health, and the provisional specifications were reviewed by the toothbrush branch committee. Toddlers' standard hair bundles do not exceed two rows, 5 to 6 bundles per row, and the hair quality is soft. The toothbrush bristles used by primary school students do not exceed three rows, 6 to 7 bundles per row. A toothbrush standard for middle school students was also formulated for adult toothbrushes as a reference.

Should pay attention to children's eating habits, add a variety of complementary foods on time, eat more rough, hard and fiber-containing foods, friction and clean the tooth surface, reduce food debris accumulation. Hard foods need to be fully chewed, which not only enhances periodontal tissues, but also rubs the bite surfaces of teeth, which may make the pits shallow, which is beneficial to reduce pit and sulcus caries.

2. Reducing or controlling sugar in diet In countries where cereals are the staple food, it is difficult to control carbohydrates in the diet to prevent caries. But in recent years, sugar-based foods and various beverages have increased significantly. Attention should be paid to making parents educate children to develop the habit of eating less snacks and sweets, not eating sugar before going to bed, and paying attention to the quality of children's meals. From young children to develop more vegetables, fruits and foods containing calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and more. Eat as much coarse grains as possible. Pay attention to breastfeeding infants. Recently, international control of carbohydrates in the diet and the use of sugar substitutes to reduce dental caries have been advocated internationally. This is currently impractical and uneconomical in China. Recently, it has been reported that certain aspartame commonly used in the United States contains toxicity, which has attracted international attention.

3. To enhance the caries resistance of the teeth is mainly to increase the fluoride in the teeth through the fluoridation method, especially to change the enamel surface or the surface structure to enhance its caries resistance. In modern times, the methods that are considered to be better are: central waterfluoridation, schoolwaterfluoridation, topical fluoridization, fluoridetoothbrushing, fluoride solution mouthwash, and other methods .

Tap water fluoridation and anti-caries are automatically added sodium fluoride by the water supply center to adjust the fluorine content of the water to a suitable concentration for preventing caries. This is the best method currently. The fluorination method for tap water has two opposite opinions internationally and domestically, so only a few countries and regions have adopted it. Guangzhou, China has tried to observe the fluorination of tap water in the experimental area for many years. Due to improper calculation of the amount of fluoride (using the reference amount recommended by the World Health Organization), children with fluoride plaque in the Guangzhou area have caused dissatisfaction among parents. fluorine.

China is located in three zones. There are many high-fluoride regions. The fluorine content in water, climate, and crops varies from region to region, and the types and habits of diets are different. Therefore, the daily fluoride intake of children needs to be calculated carefully and accurately. Therefore, it is unrealistic to emphasize the prevention of dental caries by adding fluoride to tap water.

In short, the fluoride caries prevention method can not be used in high fluoride area, and children with fluoride plaque should not be used.

Qin water fluorination method is to add sodium fluoride to the public drinking water of nurseries, kindergartens, elementary schools and middle schools to increase the appropriate concentration of fluoride to prevent caries. Because these children drink small amounts of water while in the park or school, but The amount of fluoride added should be calculated accurately.

The above two methods have effects on teeth that have not yet emerged and teeth that have emerged during development.

Mouthwash with fluoride solution is suitable for kindergarten, primary and secondary schools. Under the supervision of medical staff or teachers, it is recommended to use a 0.2% neutral sodium fluoride aqueous solution to gargle, once a week or every 2 weeks, gargle for 1 minute, and do not swallow. Is a more feasible method.

Fluoride toothpaste brushing method, the general concentration is not more than 0.4% sodium fluoride, children brush their teeth once every morning and evening, will have a certain effect of reducing dental caries, easier to promote, is also the internationally recognized best auxiliary method.

Any fluorinated anti-caries method can only be used in water-free or low-fluorine areas. The high fluorine area cannot be used.
