Reasons why teeth can crumble<\/h2>\n

\n\t The answer to the question of why teeth crumble in an adult or child may be not only in the field of dentistry, but much deeper, and everything is reflected in the state of the dentition.<\/p>\n

\n\t Causes:<\/p>\n

\n
• \nPoor<\/b> oralhygiene<\/b>. And as much as they say that everyone is always talking about the importance of the procedure, but it is true. Acidic environment destructively affects the enamel, making it brittle and vulnerable. Increased acidity is affected by plaque on the teeth, it is there that bacteria and their waste products – destructive acid – accumulate;<\/li>\n
• \nuntreated caries<\/b> and other diseases, when carious tissue becomes a lot and the walls of the tooth are thinning. As a result, the tooth begins to crumble;<\/li>\n
• \nmechanical causes<\/b>: trauma, extra hard food – nuts, chewing candy, etc., bad habits – chewing pencils, objects, opening a bottle with teeth. As a consequence, the tooth is cracked and broken;<\/li>\n
• \ntemperature fluctuations in<\/b> food. Very hot is abruptly replaced by cold. Enamel can not withstand, cracks appear;<\/li>\n
• \nlack of vitamins<\/b> and minerals: calcium, vitamin D (which contributes to the absorption of calcium), fluoride, phosphorus;<\/li>\n
• \nmetabolic disorders<\/b>. It is worth visiting an endocrinologist;<\/li>\n
• \nhormonal imbalance<\/b>. This is not only diseases associated with the hormonal background, its jumps, but also special periods in a person’s life – adolescence and old age, menopause, pregnancy;<\/li>\n
• \nheredity<\/b>. Genetic predisposition to weak enamel;<\/li>\n
• \nstress<\/b>;<\/li>\n
• \nimproper bite<\/b> – uneven load on the lower and upper teeth;<\/li>\n
• \nbruxism<\/b> – involuntary grinding of teeth day or night. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
