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.

How to have healthy teeth
Good oral hygiene is transmitted in a healthy and beautiful smile. And to wear it in all its glory, we must be clear what the guidelines are good dental cleaning and protection.
• Rinsing is toothpaste complement but not replace it. This is because bacteria can not remove the brush itself, because it reaches the entire area of the teeth and mouth.
• The “whitening” do not change the color of teeth. Just remove existing stains. So if it is naturally white, will continue in that color. And just a darker, but evenly.
• The most important times to brush are in the morning and evening. But we must avoid doing at least immediately after eating citrus fruits, and would remove the enamel damaged by acids.
• The sparkling water dissolves the tooth enamel, due to its composition of carbonic acid. However, fluoridated water reduces tooth decay and improve dental hygiene.
• Apart from being a possible sign of disease, dry mouth can damage teeth and be a sign of bad breath. Cause of this happening is a lack of saliva, which would prevent passing the remains of food and neutralize the acid.
• An excessive brushing wears away the enamel and the tooth surface. So do not do it for more than two minutes and a circular motion.
