I have a few teeth with black in it which is decay, i am starting to brush my teeth now, so will this stop my teeth getting worse from now on as long as i carry on brushing and using mouthwash?, i know the decay will not go, but i can prevent it getting worse by brushing? thanks
Tooth Decay?
No, the decay will continue. Have you ever heard the old saying "one bad apple will spoil the bunch?" Well, it holds true for your teeth as well. If left untreated, decay will continue to "eat" away at the tooth, until it reaches the dentin (the inside of the tooth) and may cause pain and sensitivity. It may start eating away at adjancent teeth as well, as decay can spread through the mouth. The most serious consequences of leaving a tooth with decay untreated can result in either a root canal or extraction of the tooth. It is much less cheaper to have decay taken care of when initially diagnosed then to wait to have a root canal, build up and crown (which can easily be around $2000 depending on where you live.
Reply:Go to the dentist. The rot will continue no matter what you do.
Reply:No, brushing your teeth now will only stop you from getting more decay. Once decay starts, it doesn't stop until it is removed by a professional.
