Tossing out Tooth Decay in Leeds

Tooth decay is one of the prime evils in the mouth to try to avoid whenever possible as it can lead, in the long run, to tooth loss. Yet it also manages to slip in very quickly if you drop your guard for around 24 hours. We try desperately to keep this at bay with our daily oral regime yet the problem is ever present and if anything, on the increase inLeeds. What causes it is the build up of bacteria and acids on the surfaces of the teeth with only one thing in mind, to eat through the enamel and infect the inside of the tooth. The early signs that tooth decay is on the prowl is when a tooth looks blotchy or darkens in colour. This will be followed by shooting pains through the tooth whenever you bite down on it, or expose it to contrasting temperatures. In its early stages it can be picked up in an x-ray and treated with a filling, but if any further takes place, the inside of the tooth will become infected and you will need a root canal to save it. At this juncture you could be risking further tragedy: you are in grave danger of an abscess forming below the tooth and you will be leaving yourself wide open to periodontal disease that eats away at the jaw bone, and also gum disease, that will not only infect your gums, but some of the most vital organs in your body as well.
