  1. 5 STAGES OF TOOTH DECAY DR.ATHREYA-RAJAGOPAL Visit : http://drrajagopals.com/

  2. TOOTH DECAY AND ITS STAGES Tooth decay is the destruction of outer protecting layer of the teeth known as tooth enamel. It is problematic for children, teens and adults. There are five stages of tooth decay as: Stage1: White Spot Stage2 : Enamel Decay Stage3 : Dentin Decay Stage4 : Involvement of Pulp Stage5 : Abscess Formation Visit : http://drrajagopals.com/best-dental-implants-in-gurgaon/

  3. STAGE 1 : White Spot In stage one, tooth start to show signs of strain from the attack of sugar, acid and white spots will begin to materialize just below the surface of the enamel.  These white spots are representative of the demineralization of the tooth and can be easy to miss because they’re likely to occur on your child’s molars.

  4. STAGE 2: Enamel Decay Initially, the tooth erodes from the underside outward, so the outer enamel will still be intact for the first half of this second stage. Once the cavity breaks through the surface of the enamel, there is no turning back, and your child will need to have the cavity corrected with a filling.

  5. STAGE 3: Dentin Decay At this level, the cavity begins to eat away at the second level of tooth material that lies beneath the enamel: the dentin. A filling can still be used to stop the onslaught of bacteria assaulting the tooth in order to prevent the cavity from reaching the tooth’s most critical component: the pulp.

  6. STAGE 4: Involvement of Pulp Once the cavity reaches the pulp, it’s going to hurt. A lot. So if you’ve unfortunately missed all the signs to this point, a screaming child or moaning teenager will certainly let you know there is a big problem.

  7. STAGE 5: Abscess Formation In this stage the infection has reached the tip of the root and exited the tip of the tooth’s structure. This in turn infects the surrounding tissues and possibly the bone structure. Swelling would be commonplace and pain severe. Visit : http://drrajagopals.com/best-dental-implants-in-gurgaon/
