Sometimes these holes form between teeth or under a part of the gumline that isn't readily visible, however, which is why dentists often need to take an X-ray or probe a tooth during a dental exam.

Now, researchers in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces report a new hydrogel treatment that breaks apart cavity-forming biofilms and whitens teeth without damaging them. Watch a video of the ...

The researchers put cavity-forming bacteria in the mice's mouths, let those bacteria grow, and then hit them with the green-light activated hydrogel.

This process is known as remineralization, which prevents a cavity from forming. Good oral hygiene, like regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings with a dentist, can prevent and reverse ...

A new hydrogel treatment that breaks apart cavity-forming biofilms and whitens teeth without damaging them is reported by researchers in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

They can also form appendages that act like limbs, which they use to move and even 'leap' on the surface on teeth, spreading quickly even though the microbes are non-motile on their own. The findings ...

And avoid the cavity forming foods like sugary foods etc, and treat the cavity lesions as early as possible. Treatment for ...
