The harm of not extracting tooth roots

Tooth decay is a common problem faced by people. Bad teeth can affect people's dining, and bad teeth can also affect people's health. Some people will develop tooth decay, and then the tooth roots will fall off. However, some tooth roots are firmly planted and will not fall off on their own, so people need to make some changes to the tooth roots. So what are the dangers of not extracting tooth roots?

People often have decayed teeth in their daily lives. There are many reasons for tooth decay. For example, some people do not pay attention to oral hygiene for a long time, and there are often some food residues in the mouth, which can easily lead to decayed teeth over time. Secondly, those who often eat sweets or drink carbonated beverages are prone to decayed teeth. If the decayed teeth are more serious, they need to be extracted, otherwise it will cause greater harm.

Many people are too lazy to see a doctor if the remaining tooth root does not cause pain or is extremely uncomfortable. Little do people know that doing so may pose a hidden danger to oral health, and in severe cases may even cause cancer and lead to oral cancer.

In the oral cavity, teeth and mucous membrane, one hard and one soft, each play a physiological function. There are three common sources of tooth decay. First, the decayed teeth are not treated in time, and gradually "collapse", leaving residual crowns and roots; second, the teeth are broken during careless exercise or fighting, resulting in residual crowns and roots; third, the teeth of cancer patients become brittle after radiotherapy, causing large-scale and rapid collapse, or even a mouth full of rotten teeth. These "mass-produced" residual roots and crowns pose a great threat to the safety of the mucosa.

The oral mucosa is a layer of tissue that is only a few millimeters thick. Although it is thin, it has the important function of protecting various tissues and immune barriers under the mucosa. Under normal circumstances, the mucosa has a strong regenerative ability, and the keratinized layer of the mucosal epithelium that is "worn off" when eating will grow back within 6 hours. However, some rotten teeth are like sharp blades, and some are like sharp nails. They will rub the delicate oral mucosa in fixed positions for a long time and repeatedly, causing ulcers and making the mucosa more susceptible to external erosion. If not treated promptly, the ulcer will grow larger and deeper, and will eventually turn into cancer.

To avoid tooth decay, you need to do daily cleaning and care of your teeth, brush your teeth scientifically, do not bite foreign objects such as fingers and pencil heads, and do not lick your teeth with your tongue. Once oral problems are discovered, they must be treated promptly to avoid causing other oral diseases.
