CHAPTER ONE
Dental Decay
The harmful and chronic disease of tooth decay can cause major health issues.
To maintain good oral health, it is crucial for individuals and the general public to be aware of the causes, signs, and treatments of tooth decay.
When bacteria enter a tooth's hard outer covering and degrade it, tooth decay results.
Tooth decay can seriously harm a person's general health if it is not treated.
Adult tooth decay may result in discomfort, an infection, or even tooth loss.
In certain situations, it might even result in additional health issues, including heart disease.
Adults and the general public should be aware of the risk factors linked to tooth decay because it is preventable.
Too little saliva, eating meals high in sugar and acid, and poor oral hygiene can all lead to tooth disease.
As a result, it's critical to frequently wash and floss your teeth, as well as to restrict your intake of foods high in sugar and acid.
