Porous teeth, here's how to prevent it

If the dental demineralization gets worse, the teeth will become eroded and become porous

Perforated teeth are usually caused by food scraps attached to the tooth surface. The rest of the food will form plaque and react with bacteria in the mouth. Finally, it produces an acid compound capable of dissolving the enamel and dentine layers of the tooth.

If the enamel and dentine layer on the teeth are getting thinner, the teeth will become demineralized, and form a hole in the tooth (caries). If the dental demineralization gets worse, the teeth will become eroded and become porous. Here are some tips that can prevent porous teeth:

1. Maintain dental hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride-containing toothpaste, especially after meals and before bedtime. If necessary, use dental floss / flossing to clean the rest of the food from between teeth. Every once a week, gargle with mouthwash to help prevent plaque and tartar formation.

2. Reduce the consumption of foods and beverages
   that can cause cavities, such as sweet foods, such as milk, fruits, cakes, candies, and acidic drinks, such as sour fruit juice or soft drinks.

3. Expand the consumption of water to facilitate the production of saliva, as well as neutralize the condition of the mouth so as not to be acidic.

4. Every once in six months, check your teeth to see a doctor. The dentist will clean the plaque and tartar to prevent cavities. Also, it can detect if there is a tooth hole, and can immediately take action to handle it. Handling of cavities as early as possible is very important to prevent the effects of cavities, including porous teeth.
