Tooth Decay: Prevention and Treatment explores the etiology, prevention, and management of dental caries, a common condition characterized by the destruction of tooth enamel and dentin by acidic byproducts of bacterial metabolism. It covers risk factors such as poor oral hygiene, high sugar intake, and lack of fluoride exposure, as well as preventive measures like regular dental cleanings, fluoride treatments, and dental sealants. The book emphasizes evidence-based treatment options, including restorative procedures like fillings and crowns, as well as minimally invasive techniques such as remineralization therapies. Suitable for dental practitioners and hygienists, it includes clinical guidelines, preventive strategies, and case studies to effectively prevent and treat tooth decay. Additionally, it explores the role of patient education and lifestyle modifications in maintaining long-term dental health.
Wren Foley specializes in the toxicological prevention and treatment of tooth decay, focusing on strategies to minimize chemical exposures that contribute to enamel erosion and cavity formation. His research explores the impact of dietary acids, sugar intake, and oral hygiene products on tooth health, assessing their roles in the development of dental caries. Wren has developed comprehensive prevention programs and treatment protocols that incorporate safe and effective toxicological practices to protect tooth integrity. He has published numerous studies on the prevention of tooth decay through informed dietary choices and the use of non-toxic dental care products.
