How to treat tooth decay?

The conventional treatment of dental caries is filling teeth. The main material is silver amalgam or resin material. Amalgam is strong and wear-resistant, but its color is inconsistent with that of teeth, which affects its beauty. Because it has no adhesion to teeth, there is more tooth tissue to grind. However, resin material is similar in color to teeth, and it has adhesion to teeth, and less tooth tissue is removed, but the price of the material is slightly expensive, and the material may change color and age over time.

When the teeth are deeply decayed, they cannot be directly filled. It is necessary to remove the rotten tissue first and then seal the medicine for observation. During this period, it is not necessary to stimulate teeth with overheated or supercooled food. After two weeks, the teeth will not have any symptoms such as pain, and then they will be permanently repaired. If the teeth have obvious pain after filling, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time.

When dental caries develop into pulp disease or periapical disease, root canal treatment is the first choice. That is, the infected dental pulp (dental nerve) is completely removed and the root canal is tightly sealed to achieve the purpose of permanently eliminating the lesion. Due to the difference in equipment and technical level, some doctors often treat dental pulp incompletely, which leads to the recurrence of dental diseases. In the process of root canal treatment, a dental film should be taken before, during and after the operation, so as to accurately understand the treatment situation, understand the treatment situation and effect, and avoid burying hidden dangers in the operation. Many teeth begin to get swollen and painful soon after root canal treatment, which may be caused by imperfect root canal treatment and need re-treatment.

Dental caries is a disease that can recur. After treatment, you should maintain good oral hygiene and go to the hospital regularly to prevent the recurrence of dental caries.
