The bacteria form a sticky film known as plaque. The acids in plaque remove minerals from (demineralize) your enamel — a coating of the teeth made mostly of calcium and phosphate. This erosion causes tiny holes in the enamel. Once the acid damage spreads into the dentin layer underneath the enamel, a cavity forms.
How can we get get rid of cavities at home
suggested that cavities are caused by lack of vitamin D in the diet. In this study, kids who added vitamin D to their diets showed a reduction in cavities. However, those who added vitamin D while also removing grain products from their diets had the best results. This is possibly because grains can stick to the teeth.
Not getting enough vitamin D may make teeth more susceptible to cavities, but we now understand that this is only a part of the puzzle. Other risk factors for cavities include:
dry mouth or having a medical condition that reduces the amount of saliva in the mouth
eating foods that cling to teeth, like candy and sticky foods
frequent snacking on sugary foods or drinks, like soda, cereals, and ice cream
Heart (due to acid)
inadequate cleaning of teeth
bedtime infant feeding
Once a cavity has penetrated the dentin, you won’t be able to get rid of it at home. The following home remedies might help prevent cavities or treat “pre-cavities” by remineralizing weakened areas of your enamel before a cavity develops:
*Sugar-free gum
*Oil pulling
*Cut out sugary foods
*Brush with fluoride toothpaste
*Vitamin D
Seeing a dentist: Many dental problems, even deep cavities, develop without any pain or other symptoms. Regular dental checkups are the best way to catch a cavity before it gets worse. Early diagnosis means easier treatment.
Treatment at the dentist for a cavity may include:
*Fluoride treatments
*Crowns
*Root canals
*Tooth extractions
