Tooth decay must be familiar to everyone. Many people in our life have had tooth decay. Tooth decay is dental caries, which can be divided into shallow caries, moderate caries and deep caries. The main reason for its formation is dental plaque, which is an almost colorless film on the surface of teeth. Dental caries caused by bacteria refers to the chronic progressive destruction of tooth hard tissue due to the influence of bacteria, diet, oral environment and other factors.

If left unchecked for a long time, it will lead to tooth defects and tooth decay. If you find that you have a decayed tooth, I suggest you fill it as soon as possible. Usually, when you have superficial caries, front teeth are a subjective and painless disease. If we miss the good opportunity of treatment at this time, the disease will develop into a deep-seated trend of anterior teeth, resulting in middle and deep caries, and even the development trend is pulpitis. If the development trend is pulpitis or periapical periodontitis, dental pulp treatment is needed, which will cause great pain. The treatment of dental caries is mainly to remove dental caries and fill cavities.

Whether the tooth decay can be repaired depends on how serious the tooth decay is. If the tooth decay is not very serious, it is only a large area of tooth loss, but the tooth loss is shallow and the nerve is not affected, then this situation can still be filled. Moreover, the effect of filling teeth is very good, and there will be no obvious pain reaction when filling teeth.

Therefore, if you have decayed teeth, I suggest you go to the stomatology department for examination, take X-rays, and be sure to go to the hospital for examination to observe the depth of decayed teeth, root and periodontal conditions. If the tooth decay is particularly serious, only the residual root or crown is left, and the tooth can no longer be filled. Instead, with the help of local anesthetics, the decayed teeth are pulled out, and then the dentures and restoration are considered.

If the damaged tissue is not serious and the teeth can be preserved, root canal treatment can be chosen for the affected teeth, and post crown restoration can be carried out after root canal treatment.

So-called? Root canal therapy? It is a method of treating teeth in dentistry, which is basically the same as filling teeth. That is, after the pulp is pulled out due to infection, the inflammatory substances in the pulp cavity are removed with special oral instruments, and then the pulp cavity is filled with filling materials after washing, anti-inflammatory and sterilization.

Because there are a large number of bacteria and their toxins in the lumen, as well as substances decomposed by pulp tissue, it is necessary to use the drug several times to completely eliminate the infection. Root canal therapy is a complicated and delicate treatment process, which requires thorough pulpectomy, disinfection and filling, and finally the treatment of teeth can be completed.

Root canal therapy is mainly through debridement, chemical and mechanical preparation to thoroughly remove the tissue in the infected root canal, and then closely fill the root canal, so as to prevent the occurrence of periapical lesions or promote the healing of periapical lesions. Therefore, many teeth can be preserved by root canal therapy. For example, teeth with pulpitis, such as teeth with periapical periodontitis, can be treated by root canal therapy.

Therefore, if you find yourself with tooth decay, you must go to the stomatological hospital for treatment in time to prevent the condition from getting worse.
