Question 1

could excess iron levels be causing my tooth decay?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Get into your dentist and disk treatment and preventive options.

Question 2

i really get cofused many search on net say phayte acid cause osteoprosies and tooth decay as it bind to ca and iron what should i do or believr>

Accepted Answer

Interesting: Phytic acid is both an anti-nutrient in that it binds dietary sources of iron very efficiently as well as zinc, calcium and magnesium. It is also considered an anti-oxidant since it binds free radical iron so it is a complex nutrient to fully understand. I don&#x27;t think it can lower oral pH enough to directly affect tooth decay as many other acids do but it does affect calcium metabolism.

Accepted Answer

Possibilities: It could make you more susceptible to gums disease. It shouldn't affect your teeth unless something you are taking is causing dry mouth. Things that could affect your susceptibility to decay are menopause, vomiting, and heart burn.

You don't have to have problems if you take care of your teeth.

Question 4

what are some non-dietary causes of excessive tooth decay in a 5yo? right now, all i've got is mouth breathing and osa w/gerd.

Accepted Answer

You've nailed it..: Obstructive sleep apnea (osa) and gerd can be contributing factors to the problem. A dry mouth, together with caustic stomach acid, can wreak havoc to the teeth. Oral hygiene excellent? Need to work closely with your team of doctors to help solve the problem(s). Phenomenal oral hygiene a must, possible topical Fluoride application. Have the pediatric dentist monitor the situation.

Question 5

could drinking alcohol cause tooth decay?

Accepted Answer

Possibly yes: Dry mouth can greatly increase your chance of developing dental decay. If you are an alcoholic, then you experience dry mouth. If you binge drink, then you will notice that you have dry mouth the following morning.

Question 6

how do sweet things cause tooth decay?

Accepted Answer

Bacteria: Tooth decay is caused by bacteria living in your mouth.  The bacteria use carbohydrates (sugars) to produce acids which breakdown the surface of the tooth.  This breakdown is tooth decay.  Keep in mind, it is not how much sweet things you eat but how often you eat them that affect tooth decay.

No : Never heard of this type of reaction.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Tea and decay: It depends on the sugar and acid content of the tea, also extreme temperatures cause expansion and contraction that can cause small fractures that can lead to decay. Get an evaluation from a dentist to see how your teeth are doing now.

Question 9

can it be that a few major cavities and tooth decay cause exhaustion..?

Accepted Answer
