It’s not a pretty sight having to smile at people in central Leeds when you have decayed teeth. It’s not only ugly to look at, but it can also be very dangerous to your health. It will start to develop by having a poor oral hygiene regime and irregular visits to dentist. If plaque continues to build up in the mouth, tartar will form and gum disease will set in, causing the teeth to rot; not only are these problems difficult to reverse, but expensive too, and tooth decay is a whole lot easier to prevent than to cure. Certain foods that contain a lot of sugar or starch need to be removed after eating, as they can lead to bacteria forming in the mouth. Regular brushing with a good brush and paste, followed by flossing and rinsing, should be enough to counter the build up of plaque- that and regular visit to the dentist. If decay or a cavity sets in, a dentist will be able to rectify this with a simple filling- if caught early enough. But if the problem is allowed to go on, you may require a root canal and crown; you may even loose the tooth altogether, even worse it will spread throughout the rest of the mouth very quickly. You may also like to consider, gum disease and tooth decay are directly linked to heart disease and strokes.
