Pulp degeneration - what does this mean
Pulp degeneration is a condition in which the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) becomes inflamed, necrotic, and eventually dies. it can be caused by a variety of factors, such as trauma, dental caries, deep restorations, and periodontal disease. it can also be caused by systemic diseases, such as diabetes, that can affect the blood supply to the pulp.
What happens during the disease - pulp degeneration
Pulp degeneration is a dental condition that is caused by a bacterial infection that penetrates the enamel of a tooth and invades the pulp chamber. this infection causes inflammation of the pulp tissue, which leads to the death of the pulp cells and the subsequent breakdown of the pulp tissue. this process causes the pulp to become necrotic, leading to the formation of a pulp cavity that is filled with bacteria and debris.
Pulp degeneration - Prevention
Pulp degeneration can be prevented by maintaining good oral hygiene, limiting sugar intake, avoiding acidic and sugary foods and drinks, and brushing and flossing regularly. additionally, regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings can help identify any early signs of pulp degeneration and help to prevent further damage.
