As a result of gum recession is usually tooth decay teeth with the roots exposed is formed. Normally, the gums are protected by the roots of teeth, but your gums with the withdrawal of the root surface becomes vulnerable to external factors. In this case, bacteria and plaque can lead to the formation of cavities and tooth root damage. The main reasons for the formation of tooth decay are:
1. Gum Recession
Gum recession exposes the roots of the tooth to reach the root of the tooth makes it easy for bacteria and plaque. Tooth enamel is not as durable as tooth roots, so is more vulnerable to rot.
2. Poor Oral Hygiene
Not brushing the teeth regularly, floss used and failure to prevent the accumulation of plaque, gum disease increases the growth of plaque bacteria. These bacteria to the surface of the tooth root causes damage and rot.
3. Periodontal Diseases
Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) withdrawal gum and bone loss. These diseases weaken the tissues around the tooth root and accelerates the formation of caries.
4. Aging
As the age progresses, the gums as a natural withdrawal occurs. Exposing the roots of the teeth, increases the risk of Root caries in the elderly.
5. Acidic and sugary foods
The consumption of acidic and sugary foods constantly, the teeth may predispose to the formation of cavities. The acids into the root portion of the tooth leads to rot.
Oral care and regular dental checkups, is the most effective way to prevent tooth decay.
