Dental caries

Dental caries from the point of view of Ayurveda

Dental caries are damaged areas on the hard surface of the teeth that turn into tiny holes or openings. Tooth damage can occur when bacteria in your mouth generates acids that attack the tooth’s surface, or enamel. This can lead to a small hole forming in the tooth, called a cavity. If tooth decay is not treated, it can cause pain, infection, and even tooth loss.
As tooth decay advances, it can cause regular toothaches, increased tooth sensitivity to sugar, as well as hot and cold food and liquids. If the tooth becomes infected, an abscess or pocket of pus can form and cause mild or even strong pain sensation, facial swelling, and fever.
People of all ages are prone to tooth decay.
According to Ayurveda, imbalance in three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), causes all diseases. Imbalance in Kapha dosha can lead to dental problems. If you have cavities, the best solution is to get tooth fillings and consult a dental surgeon. Medications can suppress the symptoms and treat the causes of the cavities to avoid them further developing in the future.
