Research conducted in Australia by the New Scientist has found that men taking a pill of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) for prevention of a stroke, had improved the health of your teeth and rarely suffered from periodontitis.

Periodontitis is a widespread disease that softened the supporting elements of the teeth and gums, causing a premature fall of the teeth.

Researchers estimate that a daily dose of aspirin, for the sixth of what it takes to combat a headache, “prevents the formation of prostaglandin E2, the main factor which attacks the teeth.

But do not leave medical research to find new and surprising beneficial properties of aspirin, although some of them are still to be verified. Is said to have anticancer effects (could reduce by 40% the risk of suffering cancer of the large intestine and rectum), which is a cerebral protector, protecting neurons from cell death and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, and finally, prevent cataracts in the elderly.

If the pulp of the tooth is infected (pulpitis), you may need to have root treatment. A dentist (or a specialist called an endodontist) takes out the gradient pulp, fills the space with a paste, and covers the tooth with a crown to protect and seal.

The reality is that even if you have a good smile, you always need a constant visit to the dentist of trust to verify that everything in order.

Thus, the control of caries and other factors particular to be one of the more casual and common problems, because sometimes not all react different to a tooth carious, even some patients are likely to even know that have.

How to detect tooth decay
Anyway, yes there are some small patterns to verify that they are able to confirm or not the existence of cavities in the mouth.

As a first symptom, and certainly also one of the most common and traditional discomfort when biting can be one of the most persistent symptoms. This way when chewing food may feel various aches which can undoubtedly be considered the first sign to visit the dentist.

As a second factor, sensitivity to heat and cold must be also other features of the presented. Clearly drinking or drinking hot or too cold can cause a marked sensitivity in the tooth or tooth decayed, giving to know that something is wrong inside the mouth.

Can sometimes appear a certain sensitivity to sweet or acid, so eating sweets, desserts or meals too sweet, it may be (however rare that is) something unpleasant. Similarly, the same can happen with acids.

Moreover, a third factor may be the strong beats in the tooth, ie strong shooting pains in the tooth, sometimes confused as ear pain or stitches in the head. As a detail to mention, if the pain and sensitivity experiments are too intense, you will need root canal treatment or root canal (the most popular name).

Symptoms of tooth decay
Finally, of course, before any of these symptoms is necessary to go to the nearest dentist to confirm whether it is a cavity or other factor that is causing the discomfort.

Anyway, although sometimes these punctuations can occur in other cases totally different from dental caries, the combination of several of these factors undoubtedly culminates in the presence of one of them.
