If you notice even the slightest defect on your teeth, you should rush to the dentist to find out the cause of the problem and ways to solve it. Tooth enamel demineralisation is often the cause of tooth stains or discolouration. What is it and how can it be prevented?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does dental enamel demineralisation occur?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dental enamel demineralisation is the dissolution of enamel which shows up as white spots on the surface of your teeth. Dental enamel can be damaged for a few reasons: increased stomach acidity, teeth grinding, or an irregular bite. The acids that cause demineralisation are found in acidic foods and are also produced by bacteria in the mouth, which develop due to poor oral hygiene. Demineralised enamel makes us much more sensitive to heat, cold, pressure and pain. If a tooth is sensitive but not damaged by tooth decay, the sensitivity is caused by irritation of the demineralised areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to slow down the process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Oral hygiene. This is the most important factor in slowing down the demineralisation of tooth enamel. Treatment begins with the development of proper hygiene habits: for long-term results, it is necessary not only to visit a professional dental hygienist regularly but also to take good care of your teeth at home, i.e. brush your teeth in the morning and evening, use mouthwash, dental floss and an interdental brush.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proper diet. Sweets, carbohydrates and acidic foods feed the bacteria in the oral cavity which promote the demineralisation process. Even sugar-free drinks are acidic and harmful to teeth. Frequent snacking also promotes the growth of bacteria; it is therefore recommended to rinse your mouth with water after every meal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Microelement therapy. This is an additional measure for dental hygiene and strengthening tooth enamel in the form of a gel containing calcium and phosphorus. When following this programme, the enamel strengthens in just a few weeks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevention. Active monitoring of changes and immediate problem solving are particularly important rules for maintaining healthy and strong teeth. Do not forget to have regular check-ups with your dentist, even if you have no complaints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is said that the smile is the greatest adornment of a person, but discoloured teeth and stains on the teeth are certainly not attractive.
