Dental Dictionary Field Background :
Dentistry, also known as dental medicine and oral medicine, is the branch of medicine focused on the teeth, gums, and mouth. It consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, management, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the mouth, most commonly focused on dentition (the development and arrangement of teeth) as well as the oral mucosa.
Dentistry may also encompass other aspects of the craniofacial complex including the temporomandibular joint. The practitioner is called a dentist.
Here are some common terms in the dental field which you find a brief explanation in the dental dictionary with meanings & terminology.
1. Tooth Decay: Tooth decay is also known as dental caries or dental cavities. It is the most common dental problem that dentists see in patients. Practically everyone, at some point in their life, has experienced tooth decay.
2. Gum Disease: Gingivitis is the early stage and mild form of gum or periodontal disease. It is a bacterial infection that is caused by the buildup of plaque. Common symptoms are gums that are red, swollen, and bleeding easily. You may also experience bad breath and sensitive teeth that hurt when you chew.
3. Bad Breath: Bad breath or halitosis is one of the most common dental problems. It is also among the most distressing. Bad breath can be caused by several different factors, including Poor oral hygiene, Dry mouth, Medication, Infection, Acid reflux, or mouth related cancer.
4. Sensitive Teeth: Your teeth become sensitive to hot and cold foods and drinks when the enamel is worn away and the dentin is exposed. The dentin has tubes that lead to the nerve deeper inside the tooth. Hot or cold substances can travel along the tubes to the nerve and cause intense pain.
5. Enamel Erosion: Enamel erosion is a condition that develops very slowly and leaves teeth both discolored and rounded-looking. Its primary cause is consuming plenty of sugary and acidic foods such as soda and sweets over a long period of time. A rare cause is brushing your teeth too often, too hard, and too long.
