Cavities (dental decay) is damage to the structure of dental hard tissue (email, dentin) caused by acid produced by bacteria found in dental plaque. Decay occurs in the outermost layer of the teeth and hard, grow slowly. After penetrating the second layer (dentine, softer), the decay will spread more quickly and get into the pulp (innermost layer of the tooth containing nerves and blood vessels). It takes 2-3 years to penetrate the enamel, but the journey from the dentin to the pulp only takes 1 year.
The process of cavities (dental decay) occurs according to three stages, namely:
- Bacteria in the mouth to form acids, of sugars contained in foods, which are attached to the tooth surface
- This acid dissolves the "Email" is a white coating that destroys teeth on the teeth.
- Then the acid causes the penetration of cavities (dental decay) inside the email to the teeth under the head gear.
What factors influence cavities (dental decay):
With increasing age of a person, usually the number of cavities (dental decay) increase. This is because the risk factors for longer cavities (dental decay) will affect the teeth.
Some studies show no difference of opinion about race relations with the prevalence of cavities (dental decay), all argue that this difference is not due to socioeconomic circumstances, education, food, how to prevent cavities (dental decay) and dental care coverage that is different in each tribe.
- Social culture of the population
Factors that influence this difference is education, and income related to diet, habits and dental care for others. Social behavior and habits will lead to different numbers of cavities (dental decay).
- Awareness, attitudes and behavior on dental health
Children separated from their mothers and deposited in the Social Institutions will experience psychological emptiness. Usually children get the care that is less physical and mental growth of children rather late, especially intelligence and emotion. Children living in Social Institutions will be given preferential treatment (discipline) with a tight schedule that has been carefully arranged. How and when to eat, drink, clean bodies, and others including how to clean the teeth.
