Problems with teeth sooner or later occur in all people. One of the troubles that can be faced is a tooth decay. If even small pieces begin to be broken off from one or several teeth, this is the reason for an urgent appeal to the dentist. But before the treatment is started, it is important to find out the exact cause, because of which the teeth began to crumble.
Why are the teeth crumbling and breaking?
The most likely factors leading to tooth decay are:
- Exchange disorders in the body that cause a change in the acidity of saliva, which begins to affect destructively the tooth enamel (in turn, this may be due to bowel diseases, fermentopathy, etc.).
- Caries caused by dental injuries or inadequate oral hygiene. This is most often the reason why the wisdom tooth is crumbling, because The toothbrush access to the last teeth in the row is difficult.
- Mechanical trauma of teeth , which is often associated with a bad habit of gnawing objects and hard food, as well as with "non-standard" use of teeth as a bottle opener, nutcheckle, etc.
- The lack of vitamins and minerals in the body , leading to softening of bone tissue, including teeth.
- Incorrect bite , causing uneven distribution of the load on the teeth during chewing and the associated fragility of the teeth.
- Sharp temperature changes - tooth enamel can easily crack and color due to the use of very cold foods immediately after hot and vice versa (for example, ice cream after hot coffee).
- Hormonal failures in the body associated with pregnancy, breast-feeding, menopause, endocrine pathologies, etc., resulting in possible metabolic changes.
