How does caries develop?<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Caries is a disease of the teeth caused by the metabolism of bacteria. It develops when the bacteria contained in plaque on the tooth convert sugar from food into acid over a longer period of time. The acid attacks the tooth enamel, the outer layer of the tooth and dissolves minerals from it. The tooth becomes soft and porous at this point, allowing the bacteria to penetrate deeper into the inside of the tooth until they finally reach the next layer, the dentin.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”3rem”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ el_class=”xtd-offset-dots” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_single_image image=”1384″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”xtd-shadow”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1581949671948{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-5″][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_single_image image=”1384″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”xtd-offset-dots”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-1 vc_col-lg-5″][vc_column_text]\n

What can happen?<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”” el_class=”xtd-spacer”][vc_column_text]In naturally porous dentin, bacteria now spread at a greater rate. Holes in the tooth” are created when areas hollowed out by bacteria and acid collapse. If the caries gets close to the tooth nerve, toothache develops. The process of caries can lead to complete softening and dissolution and thus to the loss of a tooth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_column_text]\n

What can we do for you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The main goal is to prevent the development of caries. An early and regular clinical and radiological control supports this goal. Weak points in oral hygiene and possible other caries-triggering factors can be detected in time. If necessary, you can be integrated into our prophylaxis programme. It consists of regular tooth cleaning and instructions as well as motivation for proper oral hygiene.<\/p>\n

If caries has already manifested itself, regular check-ups ensure that the caries is detected at an early stage and is therefore easy to treat. If a caries is discovered during the checkup, the therapy depends on the extent of the disease.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1568299114313{background-color: #f7f7f7 !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_column_text]\n

What can you expect?<\/strong><\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Your therapy depends on the stage of caries and will be adequately adapted to it. If the disease is still in a very early stage, it is possible to wait and observe by optimising oral hygiene and fluoridation measures.<\/p>\n

In some cases, the so-called caries infiltration is a treatment option, a method of sealing the caries without the need for drilling.<\/p>\n

If the caries has already penetrated deeper into the tooth or into the dentin, a filling therapy is necessary. For the therapy, the tooth is isolated from the rest of the oral cavity with a rubber dam (rubber dam), which makes it easier to dry out the treatment area and keep an overview. In addition, no water collects in the oral cavity and is sucked out directly at the tooth. They can breathe and swallow normally under the rubber band.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”3rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” curly_padding=”content-padding-none” css=”.vc_custom_1568730300102{margin-top: 100px !important;}”][vc_column width=”5\/6″ offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-sm-offset-1″][vc_column_text]On the picture the tooth is affected by a deep caries.

Regular check-ups at the dentist can detect caries at an early stage or even prevent it. Within the scope of professional tooth cleaning, your daily dental care is optimised and caries-causing bacterial plaque is effectively removed. Especially important is the cleaning of the interdental spaces with the help of dental floss or interdental brushes. Nutritional advice is also helpful. Food and drinks containing a lot of sugar and\/or acid should be avoided.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”3rem”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” curly_padding=”content-padding-xs” el_class=”color–text-inverted xtd-background-animation–left-right” css=”.vc_custom_1568125031529{background-color: #86c9e8 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]\n
