Black dental caries are caused by the acidic substances produced by bacteria on the tooth surface when decomposing food residue, leading to the dissolution of minerals on the tooth surface. If not treated in time, black dental caries will further erode the teeth, causing tooth pain, infection, and other problems.
Many people may think of using toothpicks to dig out black dental caries, but this is not a good choice. Using toothpicks to dig out black dental caries may further damage the tooth surface. The tip of the toothpick can easily scratch the tooth surface, making it rougher and more prone to bacterial growth, thus aggravating the development of dental caries. If the toothpick is not clean, it can also bring bacteria into the mouth, leading to oral infection.
Using toothpicks to dig out black dental caries cannot solve the fundamental problem. Black dental caries are caused by the dissolution of minerals on the tooth surface. If not treated in time, dental caries will continue to erode the teeth, eventually leading to tooth decay. Using toothpicks to dig out black dental caries is only a temporary solution and cannot cure dental caries.
Using toothpicks to dig out black dental caries may also cause tooth pain. After the minerals on the tooth surface are dug out, the tooth surface will become more sensitive, easily causing tooth pain. If the tooth pain is severe, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
Using toothpicks to dig out black dental caries is not a good choice. The best method is to seek medical attention promptly and receive professional treatment. In daily life, we should also pay attention to oral hygiene, brush teeth regularly, rinse the mouth, use dental floss, etc., to prevent the occurrence of dental caries.
