Tooth Decay
Tooth decay is experienced as frequently by people as the common cold; however, it is not, as most believe, a natural process. Tooth decay is a bacterial disease that can lead to other complications in the body as a result of tooth bacteria entering the blood stream and traveling throughout the body. Tooth decay depends on many factors: presence of bacteria, sugars to feed the bacteria, the vulnerability of one’s tooth enamel, poor nutrition & oral hygiene.
Symptoms May Include:
Tooth decay rarely causes symptoms until it is quite advanced; therefore, the best remedy is good oral hygiene and good nutrition.
- Sensitivity to hot & cold
- Sensitivity to sugar & sweets making contact with the teeth
