  1. Rotten Teeth – Advanced Tooth Decay

  2. Introduction to Rotten Teeth Rotten teeth refer to teeth that have deteriorated due to untreated tooth decay. Tooth decay begins with the accumulation of plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, that erodes tooth enamel. If not addressed, this decay can progress, causing severe damage and leading to cavities or even tooth loss. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent further complications, as untreated decay can lead to infections and other serious health issues.

  3. Toothache Tooth Sensitivity Bad Breath Visible Holes or Spots Symptoms of Rotten Teeth Persistent pain in the affected tooth, often worsening with temperature changes or pressure. Increased sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods, causing discomfort. Foul odor from the mouth due to bacteria and decay in the teeth. Presence of dark spots, holes, or cavities on the surface of the teeth.

  4. Sugary foods fuel harmful bacteria in the mouth, producing acids that erode tooth enamel and promote decay. Frequent consumption of acidic drinks like soda and fruit juices weakens enamel, making teeth more susceptible to decay. Poor Oral Hygiene Excessive Sugar Intake Acidic Foods and Beverages Constantly eating sugary foods provides a continuous supply of fuel for bacteria, accelerating the decay process. Frequent Snacking Reduced saliva production increases the risk of tooth decay as saliva helps neutralize acids and wash away food particles. Dry Mouth Some individuals may have genetic variations that affect enamel strength and saliva composition, increasing their vulnerability to cavities. Genetic Factors Causes of Rotten Teeth Infrequent brushing and flossing allow bacteria and plaque to accumulate, leading to cavities and eventual tooth decay.

  5. Diagnosis and Treatment Cavity Stage Beginning Tooth Decay Stage Advanced Tooth Decay Stage Post-Treatment Care In the initial stage, dentists identify cavities through routine check-ups. Fluoride treatments are applied to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent further decay. If tooth decay progresses, the dentist may recommend deep cleaning and possibly a dental crown to protect the affected tooth and restore its shape. In cases of severe decay where infection spreads to the tooth pulp, a root canal treatment is necessary to remove infected nerves and prevent further complications. After treatment, maintaining proper oral hygiene and scheduling regular dental check-ups is crucial to prevent recurrence of decay and monitor dental health.

  6. Importance of Prevention Preventing Rotten Teeth • Regular dental check-ups allow for the early detection of cavities and other dental issues before they develop into more serious problems, such as rotten teeth. • Maintaining proper oral hygiene practices, including brushing twice daily and flossing, is crucial to remove plaque and bacteria that cause tooth decay. • Using fluoride toothpaste strengthens tooth enamel, making it more resistant to decay, which is essential for preventing rotten teeth. • Educating patients on dietary choices and avoiding sugary snacks can significantly reduce the risk of developing cavities and rotten teeth. • Routine cleanings by a dentist or dental hygienist help to remove tartar buildup, which cannot be removed by regular brushing alone. This prevents the progression of tooth decay.
