Caries Superficialis

Caries superficialis (or caries beetle) is a disease that affects the teeth of the upper jaw and is one of the most common forms of caries. It appears as small white spots on the tooth enamel, which may not be noticeable to humans.

The causes of caries superficialis can be different, but most often it occurs due to insufficient oral hygiene and consumption of soft foods, which contribute to the accumulation of plaque and the development of bacteria. In addition, some people may have a genetic predisposition to this disease.

Symptoms of caries superficialis usually do not cause discomfort in a person, but can lead to the destruction of tooth enamel and the development of more serious forms of caries. To prevent the development of the disease, you must regularly brush your teeth, floss and use mouthwash.

If you notice symptoms of caries superficialis, contact your dentist for diagnosis and treatment. Depending on the extent of tooth damage, the doctor may recommend removing the affected enamel or using special materials to restore it.

In general, caries superficialis is a fairly common disease that can lead to serious consequences if not treated promptly. Therefore, it is very important to monitor oral hygiene and contact the dentist at the first signs of disease.
