Arrested dental caries - what does this mean
Arrested dental caries is a condition that occurs when the progression of dental decay has been stopped due to the presence of fluoride in the diet, or from the use of fluoride treatments. it is characterized by the presence of a white spot lesion on the tooth surface, which is caused by the demineralization of the enamel.
What happens during the disease - arrested dental caries
Arrested dental caries is a condition in which the progression of dental caries is halted due to the presence of enamel and/or dentin that is resistant to the acid produced by bacteria. the condition is usually caused by poor oral hygiene, allowing bacteria to accumulate on the teeth and produce acid that erodes the enamel. if the acid production is not stopped, the caries can progress and cause further damage to the tooth.
