Determine whether you have tartar or not, it is not difficult. Open our mouths wider and look at our teeth. If the teeth are stained, brown spots, located near the gums, then we make a diagnosis: the presence of tartar. These are the so-called calcareous deposits. Many will be surprised, they say, the calcareous deposits must be white. But these deposits consist not only of calcium compounds. Elements of calcium - only in their basis, and it is applied to bacteria, elements of other minerals, food remnants, dead cells of the tissues of the mucous membranes.
Tartar: causes of appearance.
The causes of the occurrence of calculus are numerous:
- not quite high-quality toothpaste;
- brush, picked up incorrectly, roughness of a surface of a teeth;
- incorrect position of teeth;
- disturbances in salt metabolism of the body. ;
- habit of chewing only on one side of the jaw;
- soft food.
Often it happens that when the teeth appear on the teeth, it does not bother anyone. Then caries develop, bleeding gums begin to bleed, teeth loosen and fall out. Little by little, parodontosis comes, which leads to the loss of teeth completely and replacement from dentures, all of which can happen far from old age. Studies show that such problems usually occur in middle-aged people, and often even young people who, at the behest of God, still have to look at the world and smile at all 33 teeth.
Tartar: consequences.
The most persistent plaque appears in those places where saliva is being produced - in the salivary glands - on the inside of the front incisors at the bottom. Saliva positively affects the teeth, but it is difficult for her to "get" to the covered teeth, and she starts to affect the plaque itself, and it becomes darker and more denser. A little later, the plaque turns into a tartar, which can not be got rid of with a simple paste and brush.
Gums with the presence of tartar begin to bleed constantly, even from a light touch. On the surface of the dental roots, deposits form, the connective fiber dies, and then the jawbones begin to break. The tissue surrounding the tooth from the damage is inflamed, the teeth begin to ache and wobble , then they completely collapse and fall out.
As a rule, little attention is paid to this disease until it has grown into a serious form. Often tartar is considered a cosmetic problem. But dental deposits contain a pathogenic microflora, which leads to the development of inflammatory processes in the oral cavity, to lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, frequent inflammation of the respiratory tract, especially the upper, and even to blood diseases.
