  Can we fill the cavity of a five-year-old Kid? Tooth decay is rather common in kids as we know kids are nowadays have become soo notorious, every kid is fond of chocolates, ice cream, jams, cookies, cupcakes, sugared cereals and donates, etc. these are the main source to cause caries. Generally, people know caries as cavities but they are not cavity i.e. caries. To prevent our kid's teeth from caries every parent should follow excellent oral hygiene and diet as follows- 1. Brushing twice a day. 2. Flossing after every meal. 3. Use fluoride-containing toothpaste. 4. Give them a pea-sized toothpaste. 5. Properly routine dental check-up. Tooth decay cavity filling Baby teeth fillings are made out of white composite or metal. Generally, people choose metal composite because they are less expensive and are easy, quick to fill but children don't like metal composite as they are aesthetically not good. So mostly children select white composite for filling. The dentist drills the dam

Uses of ethoxy benzoic acid in dental cement It is an organic compound derived from Benzoic acid. 2-Ethoxybenzoic acid is a dental cement mostly used for root-end filling and prevents entry of pathogens in the periapical region. It has a molecular weight of around 166.17g/mol. It Provides mechanical interlocking in the compounds of ethoxy benzoic acid which gives strength and hardness to the material for gap filling or restoration. It is an organic compound crystalline, colorless solid under natural conditions.  It is also used as a ph controller and prevents the growth of pathogens or microbes in the mouth or oral cavity to keep food safe. Benzoic acid is also used in mouthwashes to prevent bad breath as well and also used for luting of the metal prosthesis, sealing, and filling, bridgework, pulp capping, and cementing media for crown and bridgework. Ethoxy benzoic acid provides interlocking and chemically bond with the natural teeth easily for giving a natural look.    

 Is there any role of pH in the absorption of  caries detector dyes on the dentinal surface? What is a caries detector? These dyes selectively stain infected demineralized dentine if so it acts as a clinical guide to remove irreversible decalcified tissue. Mainly used to diagnose occlusal caries. Here we describe the application of the Ir/IrOx pH sensor, which is used to detect the pH of caries dentinal surface. The pH level is to distinguish between active and arrested caries. The average pH values of active caries, arrested caries, and the sound root 6.85, 6.05, 5.30 respectively. This caries testing technique using Ir/IrOx sensor gives accurate quantitative caries evaluation.  What we eat, drink, change the pH level in our mouth which is responsible for an optimal environment for Bad breath which can cause caries in the tooth.  When the pH level falls below the normal level, demineralization occurs. when teeth get bacteria, the oral cavity starts to release lactic acid which is the
