  2. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay

    The carious process can begin within days of a tooth's erupting into the mouth if the diet is sufficiently rich in suitable carbohydrates. Evidence suggests that the introduction of fluoride treatments has slowed the process. [34] Proximal caries take an average of four years to pass through enamel in permanent teeth.

  3. Your tooth's enamel, cementum, and dentin usually protect the pulp, but if any of those layers are damaged or irritated, the pulp can get inflamed. Cue the pain.

    A fracture of a tooth can involve the enamel, dentin, and/or pulp, and can be orientated horizontally or vertically. [10]: 24–25 Fractured or cracked teeth can cause pain via several mechanisms, including dentin hypersensitivity, pulpitis (reversible or irreversible), or periodontal pain. Accordingly, there is no single test or combination of ...

  5. Remineralisation of teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remineralisation_of_teeth

    Tooth remineralization is the natural repair process for non-cavitated tooth lesions, [1] [2] in which calcium, phosphate and sometimes fluoride ions are deposited into crystal voids in demineralised enamel. Remineralization can contribute towards restoring strength and function within tooth structure.

  6. Dentin hypersensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentin_hypersensitivity

    Tooth decay: Tooth decay is one of the most common causes of sensitive teeth. When the enamel on the surface of the tooth is worn away or eroded, the underlying dentin becomes exposed. This can cause sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods and beverages. Gum disease: Gum disease can cause sensitive teeth by exposing the roots of the teeth. As ...

  7. Tooth enamel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_enamel

    The enamel on primary teeth has a more opaque crystalline form and thus appears whiter than on permanent teeth. The large amount of mineral in enamel accounts not only for its strength but also for its brittleness. [6] Tooth enamel ranks 5 on Mohs hardness scale (between steel and titanium) and has a Young's modulus of 83 GPa. [4]
