If the tooth defect caused by dental caries does not reach the pulp cavity, it is not necessary to kill the nerve, and the tooth can be directly filled. If the cavity has reached the dental nerve, but it only causes local pulpitis through the pulp hole, and it is a young permanent tooth, it can also be covered with pulp and filled without killing the nerve.

If the cavity has reached the pulp cavity and there is inflammation of the whole pulp, it is necessary to kill the nerve and perform root canal treatment, which cannot be directly repaired. Whether it is necessary to kill the nerve depends on whether the nerve has been infected, whether there has been necrosis or gangrene and obvious inflammation. If it is dental caries, it does not reach the pulp cavity, and it has nothing to do with the pulp. You don't need to kill your nerves, just fill your teeth directly. If it is localized pulpitis, the pulp can be protected as much as possible. If the whole pulp is inflamed, or necrosis or gangrene has occurred, the pulp, that is, the nerve, must be removed.
