At the initial stages of demineralization of tooth enamel, the carious process often manifests itself as characteristic bright spots on the surface of the teeth - this is the so-called caries in the stage of the stain. Such kind of pathological changes of enamel are especially well visible on the frontal group of teeth. Approaches to the treatment of caries in the stage of white spot today can vary significantly,Moreover, much in this regard depends on the level of the clinic and the professionalism of the doctor - some doctors may suggest not to touch the stain at all, others will offer remineralizing therapy with special gels and fluoro-lac on the tooth enamel.

Why do I need to treat my teeth? Almost every person at least once in his life thought about this issue. Since ancient times, there were many ways to help with acute toothache, which were based on the knowledge of traditional medicine. In this case, healers, barbers, bath attendants could assist. In most cases, such therapeutic measures sooner or later led to the removal of a diseased tooth.
The appearance of modern equipment and new methods of dental treatment made it possible to increase the effectiveness of care in the most problematic cases, and also to save even those teeth that would have had to be removed before.
What should I do if I have a problem tooth in my mouth?
If for some reason it was not possible to maximize the use of all means and methods for preventing caries before it occurs, and the tooth began to deteriorate, it is necessary to act according to the following scheme:
- First, do not panic. To treat teeth with modern equipment is absolutely not scary.
- Use all known means in the search for a professional dentist therapist. To do this, you can consult with relatives and friends, find reviews about doctors on the websites of clinics and forums. In any case, competent monitoring will allow not only to find a specialist who can safely entrust their health, but also to find out the approximate price range of the upcoming dental treatment.
- Make an appointment with the selected dentist and follow a few basic rules ...
Rule number 1: do not abuse strong drinks the day before the reception and abandon them on the day of the visit to the doctor.
Rule number 2: adjust yourself to the positive with self-control, motivation or breathing exercises. After all, you will not go to the torturer, but to a professional who takes care of the health of your teeth and really makes them better.
Why do you need to follow these rules? In fact, the answer is on the surface. It has been proven that alcohol and stress are, in most cases, serious blockers of the action of anesthesia (“freezing”) of a tooth. Therefore, the practice of “drinking for courage” before treatment at the dentist is unacceptable in our time.
Treat or delete?
At the moment there are specific indications for the extraction of teeth, however, even in the most difficult clinical situations, the dentist can give the right of choice, competently explaining the possible risks and consequences of preserving the tooth. This approach is explained by clear positions that are shared by most dentists in the world:
- No artificial design can ideally replace a lost tooth, especially in functional terms. A tooth is an organ that is given by nature, with a set of unique characteristics for each person. Standard dentures can not always satisfy them, so it is preferable to treat the teeth.
- Virtually any manipulation associated with the treatment of a tooth is the least traumatic compared with removal, implantation, prosthetics.
- Early treatment of the teeth prevents the development of serious complications from the tissues adjacent to the diseased tooth (periostitis, osteomyelitis, sinusitis, etc.)
As a result, everyone chooses a suitable option for himself, but, from the point of view of professionals in this matter, it is easier to stay in all respects on dental treatment than to lose teeth and get a lot of problems in the oral cavity and the body as a whole.
As the well-known wisdom says: “There are teeth — there are problems, those who have no teeth — that problem has even more problems!” (Agadzhanyan EG)
