Why teeth crumbling

Each of us has faced the problem of crumbling teeth. And how unpleasant it is to realize that you will have to treat or even remove a tooth. But in addition to these procedures, it is important to determine the cause of this phenomenon and eradicate the original source of the problem. Therefore, in the article we will give in detail the definitions of diseases that destroy our teeth and give practical advice on preventing tooth decay.

Causes of crumbling teeth

An upsetting situation when you accidentally break off a piece of a tooth, for example, while chewing food. And then you ask yourself: "Why did this happen?" This question cannot be answered unequivocally.

But there are main reasons that can affect the appearance of chips and cracks on the teeth:

• Mechanical damage. For example, there are people who like to gnaw nuts teeth or open bottles with iron caps.
• Improper treatment by the dentist. Unscrupulous doctors may leave a small piece of a carious tooth or simply not notice it. After placing a filling, the tooth will slowly begin to decay.
• Chemical cleaning of teeth. Tooth enamel usually suffers when whitening. This is a pretty serious test for the oral cavity.
• Lack of vitamins and trace elements. Calcium cannot be absorbed without vitamin D.
• Hormonal adjustment organism. For example, pregnancy or the onset of menopause.
• Heredity. What is given by nature, you can still fix it. Genetic predisposition is not a sentence.
• Sudden changes in temperature. You cannot eat cold food first, and then hot food, and vice versa.
• Serious illnesses. Diabetes, arthritis, arthrosis.
• Malocclusion. Even in childhood, the formation of a bite begins. Therefore, from childhood, you can already track this problem.
• Improper dental care. Even if you brush your teeth in the morning and in the evening, this does not mean the quality of your actions. It is necessary to pay attention to each tooth and use a special thread.

In any case, it is necessary to find out the cause of tooth decay.

What to do if teeth are crumbling

First of all, we turn to the dentist and therapist. For the dentist, you can grab a piece of a broken tooth, if, of course, it is preserved. This is necessary in order for the doctor to determine the degree of destruction and confirm or deny the presence of caries.

On the advice of the therapist, pass blood for hormones and sugar. Only based on the results can we talk about treatment.

Then we visit an endocrinologist. An examination of the thyroid gland is performed.

Also, in addition to the main treatment, you can independently help your body.

To do this, include in the diet:

• dairy products;
• fatty fish;
• all nuts except peanuts;
• vegetables;
• fruits;
• greens;
• cabbage, especially sauerkraut;
• bananas;
• kiwi;
• apples;
• tomatoes.

Make it a rule to rinse your mouth with herbal infusions. Chamomile, oak bark and sage are perfect for these purposes.

Walk a lot in sunny weather. Stop smoking. And don't chew on hard objects.

Vitamins for teeth

A storehouse of vitamins for crumbling teeth is in carrots. It can be consumed both raw and boiled. But don't overdo it with quantity. Enough 1 carrot per week, otherwise the white of the eyes may turn yellow.

Still equally important foods are those that contain beta-carotene:

• apricots;
• tomatoes;
• veal liver;
• onion;
• natural butter;
• dill and parsley;
• fresh or canned green peas.

Vitamin D can be obtained not only from sunlight, but from cod liver. The liver of other animals (cows, pigs, chickens) can also be consumed, but it contains less useful substance. It's also a good idea to go to the pharmacy and purchase liquid vitamin D or fish oil.

Vitamin C is also an essential source of a beautiful smile. Eat plenty of sauerkraut. It contains a large amount of a useful trace element, and you can forget about lemons and oranges. It's a good idea to buy regular ascorbic acid at the pharmacy.

B vitamins. They are found in almost all foods. But if for some reason you cannot eat, for example, meat, eggs or dairy products, then buy regular multivitamins at the pharmacy. If there is a lack of calcium, your doctor may prescribe calcium gluconate tablets. It strengthens the enamel, preventing further decay of the tooth.

In addition to all of the above tips, do not forget to visit your dentist at least once every six months. This does not imply compulsory treatment, a routine examination is sufficient. If the doctor identifies any problems, then, depending on the situation, treatment and preventive work will be prescribed. Agree, it is better to prevent the disease at an early stage and pay a small amount than to engage in expensive treatment with prosthetics later on.
