How to start tooth decay?

Almost all of the pathological processes in the body originate from the thin, invisible disturbances at the biochemical molecular level. Since dental caries is an infectious disease caused by streptococcus, for him, as for many similar pathologies characteristic "incubation" period, during which the symptoms are not detected. Objectively (by examination, probing, temperature diagnostics) dental clinic found in the spots stage (see below), but the caries process occurs much earlier.
Today it is known that the initial processes of demineralization (the loss of hard tissues of teeth minerals) occur before the detection of lesions visible under a microscope. These submicroscopic changes in the enamel surface occurs at the molecular level by reducing the level of acidity. German scientists, Elmar Hellwig, and Joachim Klimek call this early stage of the caries process, the initial lesion. The authors argue that "the beginning of an infectious disease should be considered as the incubation period, and not a time when the disease is diagnosed based on clinical manifestations. That is demineralization of dental hard tissues, which manifests itself in the form of the initial decay, followed by destructive forms of development, is only the result of local and long-term by reducing the pH of dental plaque, and not the beginning of the disease. " Thus, the beginning of the caries process in enamel should not be considered a stage already appeared spots, and the stage of mature or active plaque, as is proved by science. that without the formation of dental caries does not occur.
