Tips to protect from decay:
* Toothpaste is not enough. It is necessary to floss. Mouthwashes are also a great help. Rinse is recommended before bedtime.
* You can forget the dental hygiene at any time of day, so before bedtime. While you sleep your mouth closed about eight hours, enabling environment for the growth of bacteria.

Arequipa Papaya fights cavities
One of the most beautiful things a woman is her smile. A healthy smile not only exudes charisma, but is a great indicator of the care for oneself.
However, 99% of people will decay at least once in their life, and for many, a visit to the dentist is a terror. If you are a person who feels he is going to faint on hearing the dentist’s drill by, or who hates to be anesthetized, then there is good news for you!
A project in the Peruvian Catholic University of Santa Maria, Arequipa, has resulted after two years of research, a revolutionary product made from papaya (including the variety called “Arequipa”) that removes decay without to resort to painful and complicated methods.
This product, called Renova Gel Cavities (with an approximate cost of $ 12) softens the tooth so they can be removed by the dentist by hand without using the drill or tooth extraction, avoiding surgery and anesthesia.
The miracles of Arequipa papaya (Carica pubescens)
You may wonder who can have the papaya that allows the removal of caries in this way. Well, this fruit contains an enzyme called papain, a substance that has the ability to break protein molecules (sometimes used to soften the meat when they are hard). Since cavities are colonies of bacteria, ie, living organisms made up of proteins, their structures are destroyed gradually by the action of this enzyme.

Dental Caries
Dental caries is a disease much more expansive than it should, it affects children and adults and causes more embarrassing is the action of sugars. Good hygiene after each meal and food intake are low in sugars are the best allies to prevent this inconvenience, which may lead to the loss of a tooth.
Tooth decay causes the loss or disintegration of the flesh or bone of the teeth, as a result of the action of acid producing bacteria to break down sugars in the diet. We must also bear in mind that foods rich in starch, can cause tooth decay.
When sitting at the table we prefer calcium-rich foods (whole or skim milk), yogurt, cheese, fish with bones (sardines or salmon), watercress, broccoli, almonds, calcium-rich mineral waters and soybeans. We must also include foods rich in vitamin D, which enhance calcium absorption, among them we find the fish, like sardines, herring, tuna, salmon, mackerel and trout.

Dental Crown
When a tooth is a root canal (endodontics) and this is very severe destruction of (if tooth decay is not too severe you can reconstruct the crown of the tooth with a traditional restoration (composite, amalgam, etc.) or through an embedding), the only treatment is to make a pin and a crown.
The crown is a restoration totally rigid, her name indicates that due to the high destruction of tooth anatomy is necessary to restore in full.
The crown can different materials:
* Metal (chromium nickel or precious metal alloys (these are the best)).
* Dental Veneers (are made of metal and is visible with porcelain or tooth-colored acrylic, aesthetically not good)
* Porcelain on metal (most used crowns).
* Pure Porcelain (highly aesthetic) alumina or zirconia. They are more esthetic crowns all.
The tooth to tooth structure have not sufficient to constitute a support and retention for the crown is needed on a pin-stump. The post-core is not nothing but an element to return part of the tooth lost anchored inside the ducts of the tooth so we can retain the dental crown on the tooth. Is an intermediary between the root and crown.
