Tooth decay occurs when acid in the mouth dissolves the enamel and dentine of the teeth causing formation of holes or cavities. The acid is produced by bacteria that are found within the plaque and thin film that builds up on the teeth.
Aspirin could reverse the effects of tooth decay by triggering teeth to self-reported, reducing the need for filling.
The drug can form new dentine, the hard tooth structure that is usually damaged by decay.
When we eat sugar it interacts with the bacteria within the plaque to produce the destructive acid. If the plaque is allowed to build up, the acid can begin to break down the surface of tooth, causing holes.
After the damage, the cavity begins to eat away at the second level of tooth material that lies beneath the enamel: the dentin. Tooth decay can lead to tooth abscesses, which may result in the tooth having to be removed.
A filling can be used to stop the bacteria in order to prevent the cavity from reaching the tooth’s pulp. Fillings may fail and may need to be replaced many times during the life time of the tooth.
Low dose of aspirin increased the rebuilding of minerals which restores strength and function of the tooth, it also stimulated existing stem cells in the tooth to regenerate the damaged tooth structure.
