Caries currently affects 21% of the population (according to data from the data from the National Institute of Statistics<\/span><\/a>), being one of the most common dental pathologies. <\/span>Interdental or interproximal caries are a specific type of caries located in the area between the teeth, often affecting more than one tooth at a time and are usually more dangerous than caries that appear in other dental areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are cavities?<\/h2>\n

If not treated in time, caries can end up eroding all the enamel and necrotizing the nerve of the tooth, so that we can lose our teeth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Because of where they originate, interproximal caries may be less visible and difficult to detect. Here we explain the keys to prevent this type of caries, locate them in time in case they appear and treat them correctly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”7745″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1633522909345{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Characteristics of interproximal caries<\/h2>\n

The area between the teeth is more inaccessible and will be more difficult to clean during tooth brushing. It is therefore an area prone to the accumulation of bacterial plaque<\/strong> and tartar that causes tooth decay. This problem is accentuated in patients with dental crowding <\/strong>and those who wear fixed dental orthodontics that hinder cleaning.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, tooth enamel also becomes thinner at the root of the tooth, so interproximal caries can advance more rapidly than those that appear in the crown of the tooth.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” el_width=”50″ accent_color=”#00a19b”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1633523097595{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Symptoms of interproximal caries<\/h2>\n

Since interproximal caries deteriorate the tooth more rapidly, it is very important that we pay attention to those symptoms that may be alerting us to its presence, such as:<\/p>\n
