What are the effects of dietary factors on dental caries?

Caries is a bacterial disease, not only the caries itself will cause harm to patients, it may also induce other oral diseases or inflammation. If there is a dental caries without timely treatment, may be infected with other teeth. The following talk about diet factors on dental caries have any effect.

The occurrence of dental caries and diet factors
Food is often in contact with enamel surface, can be used as a substrate for caries microorganisms directly affect the occurrence of dental caries. The relationship between food and the incidence of dental caries is very close, different food because of its nature, type and cooking methods are different, caries ability is also very different. The dietary factors that are closely related to the occurrence of dental caries are as follows:
Carbohydrate The most likely caries are monosaccharides and disaccharides, such as glucose, sucrose and so on. They are the substrate of cariogenic bacteria metabolism, for the survival of bacteria provides a wealth of nutrients, its metabolites can cause tooth damage. Pure sugar food carbohydrate caries in the strongest, sticky soft candy, cakes and other easy in the teeth gap or ditch nest deposited down, but also easy to cause dental caries. The acid-producing ability of various carbohydrates is positively correlated with cariogenic activity, and the order of strong to weak is sucrose, glucose, maltose, lactose, fructose, sorbitol and xylitol.
2. Dietary fiber. Dietary fiber protects teeth from dental caries. Dietary fiber can enhance the self-cleaning effect of the mouth, remove the food residue attached to the tooth gap, and itself should not be attached to the tooth surface, can greatly reduce the chance of suffering from dental caries.
3. Fluoride. The level of fluoride in drinking water, the impact of dental caries and plaque formation. Fluoride acts as an anti-caries by enhancing the acidity of tooth enamel and inhibiting the growth of eosinophils.
4. Food properties. Regular consumption of non-cooked or rough food is generally lower than the consumption of fine, fine, soft, sticky food, which is the physical properties of food and chemical composition by the close relationship.
Four kinds of Chinese medicine to prevent dental caries
Magnolia: there is temperature, the next gas, dampness, phlegm function, attending stomach food, phlegm cough cough, cold dampness diarrhea, toxicity, the main cariogenic bacteria Streptococcus mutans have the ability to inhibit.
Gallbladder, blood in the stool, carbuncle swollen sore, skin wet rotten, non-toxic, gallnut has a good inhibition of the role of cariogenic virulence factors.
Tea polyphenols: the main components of tea, especially from green tea extracted polyphenols, antioxidant and free radical scavenging function, with broad spectrum and strong antibacterial effect and the advantages of low YAO concentration.
Propolis: from the workers in the nest nesting honey in the process of sticky secretions and plants in the gum, resin and beeswax and other substances mixed with Streptococcus bacillus have inhibitory capacity, and anti-inflammatory, and promote tissue regeneration.
       Above for everyone to introduce the diet factors on dental caries have any effect, we understand the correct diet can prevent the occurrence of dental caries, the wrong diet may induce dental caries. Therefore, we should eat less harmful food on the teeth, you can also use the above four kinds of Chinese medicine to prevent dental caries.
