Can tooth decay be reversed?

The short answer is “no” but the long answer is “sort of.”  Here’s why:


The earliest stage of tooth decay or a cavity is demineralized enamel. The outer layer of enamel becomes weak and soft, due to acids and plaque biofilm coming into contact with it on an extended basis.

Fortunately, demineralized enamel can — to an extent — be remineralized before a physical cavity (hole) ruptures through the surface.


What are some ways to help this happen?

  • Improved hygiene and plaque removal on an everyday basis
  • Protective dental sealants over deep grooves and fissures, which are someof the most cavity-prone surfaces
  • Drinking fluoridated tap water throughout the day
  • Supplementation with a prescription strength fluoride or mouthrinse, providedby your dentist
  • Use of everyday oral hygiene products that contain fluoride
  • Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, sharp cheddar cheese, and fewerprocessed carbohydrates
  • Eliminating acidic beverages and those that contain natural or artificial-sweeteners

The types of cells that make up your teeth do not re-grow or repair themselves after the tooth is fully developed.

Once a tooth has a physical cavity (opening or hole) inside of it, there is no feasible way to help the enamel grow back on your own. Instead, the cavity will gradually worsen, due to the bacterial infection inside of the tooth structure.


Ideally, you would want to treat the cavity as soon as it’s diagnosed and while it’s as small as possible. When you do, your dentist can place a minimally invasive filling and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

But untreated cavities will expand to the point that they require larger fillings. Or worse, they will reach into the nerve chamber and create an abscess. What could have initially been treated with a modest restoration now becomes a situation requiring a root canal and a crown

What is the difference between a stroke and a seizure?

Though there are a lot of similarities between a stroke and a seizure,  there are some noteworthy differences between the two conditions. Please check the table below to know the difference between a stroke and a seizure. 

 

DifferencesStrokeSeizures
Nature of the ConditionThe brain stops functioning in a strokeThe brain simply overreacts in a seizure
CausesA stroke can cause a seizureA seizure cannot cause a stroke
Effects on the bodyA stroke can, in most cases, lead to paralysis ,and in one out of ten cases, death.For seizures, there is hardly any damage to the body, and death only happens in rare cases.
Method of treatmentThe most effective way to fight a stroke is to find the cause of it and tackle it accordingly. For seizures, anti-seizure medications are the most popular and recommended treatment choice.
SymptomsMost symptoms of stroke and seizures overlap, but facial drooping is one such symptom that is experienced only in stroke. Facial drooping is not a symptom of seizures.

When can I drive after a stroke?

Reputed neurosurgeons recommend waiting for at least one month after a mini-stroke and then resume driving for better brain healing. For massive strokes, the wait is longer. 

 

But in either case, it is advisable to first obtain your doctor’s consent before driving again.
